Font Question, Please
Hello:
Thanks for previous help. Is there a single font called "Arial Times New Roman" ? Or, is it (only) an "Arial" Font, and another, second, font called "Times New Roman" ? Thanks, Bob |

The latter. TNR is the install default font in Word. Arial and TNR are quite
different. TNR is a serifed font - little strokes at the top and or bottom of the main verticals or horizontals of letters. Conversely, Arial is a sans serif font with no adornments to the letter strokes. Broadly speaking, serifed fonts work well as standard paragraph text being especially readable in smaller sizes. Sans Serif fonts scale upwards well and are good for headings and titles. But the two font types have to be mixed with great care. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Robert11" wrote in message ... : Hello: : : Thanks for previous help. : : Is there a single font called "Arial Times New Roman" ? : : Or, is it (only) an "Arial" Font, and another, second, font called "Times : New Roman" ? : : Thanks, : Bob : : |

To add to what Terry has said, most of Word's built-in styles use either
Times New Roman (body text) or Arial (some headings and a few other styles). A few (such as Plain Text, Macro Text, and HTML Code) use Courier New, and a couple of display types (Balloon Text, Document Map) use Tahoma. -- Suzanne S.
