Do these fonts appear in the list for new documents or just for the
documents in which they have been used? If a document uses a font that is
not present on the computer, it will still show up in the font box when the
insertion point is in a paragraph that uses that font (even though Word will
substitute another font for display and printing). If the fonts are showing
up in new documents, does this happen even after you restart Word or
Windows? Word should be querying the printer driver on startup and
displaying the fonts the printer can print (as listed in the Fonts folder).

If you're seeing the font listed "above the line" (in the Font MRU list),
see the appropriate article for your version of Word:

Navigate to the font folder through Control Panel Fonts. Highlight the
font(s), right mouse click and choose delete. Remember that the font
might be listed more than once, once for each style (Regular/Roman,
Italic, Bold, Bold Italic).

If you did not choose to copy the files to the fonts directory, the
shortcut to the font will be deleted. If the font was copied to the font
directory (and that is the default action), the font file is deleted
from
the fonts directory.

Let us know.

Hi Tom, Thanks for responding so quickly. The fonts do not show up in
the font folder. The thumb drive has been removed but the fonts that I
previously used still are in the drop down menu. They no longer work because
the thumb drive is not in the machine but they are still listed. I would
like to get them out of the list. Thanks, WordKing
