Word should display list of all fonts used in a document.

[Guest]

While working on a large document where sections are owned by different
people, the formatting structure of the document becomes difficult to manage.

We can look at a specific example (font) which is difficult to check.

Often the font style & size, italic status / bold status etc. is difficult
to track. It is cumbersome for users to go through the document and check for
inconsistencies.
If a feature is available which would list all the fonts (such as style,
size etc.) used in the document along with the details about the location of
them it would be of great help to the user to remove formatting
inconsistencies in the document.

The feature can be enhanced to include details about other formatting
features such as Paragraph formatting etc. later.

Thanks Stefan for sending the links. They are quite useful and I am sure I
would be regularly using the features mentioned in the articles. Just a query
whether the features are available in Excel and PowerPoint also?

You are welcome.

For information on Excel and PowerPoint, you'd better ask in Excel and
PowerPoint newsgroups.
