Font problem
Hi!
I've been trying to figure out how to fix this problem without any luck. I got a file from a client to work on. The file used a font I don't have installed on my system, yet the text in the original file showed up okay (= the font looked fine). Somewhere along the way, when I was working with the file, the font looks/prints different. It says it's the same font, but it doesn't look the same. How can I get it to appear the way it did in the original file I received? Like I said, I don't have that font actually installed on my system. The original file is using a template I don't have installed on my computer either. Hope you understand what I mean. I know I'm not explaining myself very well, and I apologise for that. BTW, I'm using Word XP. Thanks Jennifer |

Font problem
Hi Jennifer,
You have four options: 1. obtain a (legit) copy of the font; 2. ask the document's creator to save it with the fonts embedded (an option under Tools|Options|Save) and send you a new copy 3. change your document to use another suitable font. 4. do nothing. This may be reasonable if the document is to go back to the creator. Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] ------------------------- "Jennifer" wrote in message ... Hi!
