Is there a field code or anyother way of showing, by text that will print,
what font is being used in that selection?

No, there's nothing built into Word that will show that. Closest you can get
is the "style area" in the Normal view (Tools/OPtions/view). That will
display the STYLE applied to the selected text, in the left margin. But only
on-screen.

If you have Word 2002/2003 the Styles and Formatting task pane can show you
more information about the current selection. What, more specifically, do you
need?

I have a lot of "arty" fonts and wanted to view them on a page with just one
sample of the alphabet, numbers etc (rather than printing the font page) and
it would be easier if there was a field code to display the font name rather
than having to type it in manually.
I am using office 2003, if there is anything else that would do the job in
that version.
Thanks
Sue
