For example Calibri and Cambria?

To display the text, Word will use fonts that do exist on the
recipient's system. The recipient can specify those replacement fonts in the Compatibility tab of Tools | Options. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Reporter" wrote in message oups.com... For example Calibri and Cambria? |

What Happens when I send a Word 2007 Document to Someone who does not have the New Fonts?
Hi Reporter,
If the other person has kept Windows somewhat up to date and tries to open a .DocX file in an earlier version of Word they will be prompted to download the Office 2007 compatibility pack. Installing the compatibility pack allows folks in older versions to open .docX files and also installs several of the Office 2007 'new' fonts, including Cambria and Calibri. If you send them a file in .doc (legacy) format and they do not have the compatibility pack installed then as Stefan mentioned, Windows will use several 'values' to decide what font to substitute by default. This isn't always obvious to the person reading the document as the font dialog will continue to show the name of the font you chose when authoring the file, not the substituted font. That can, in turn, affect the layout of your document as viewed by another person. ============== "Reporter" wrote in message oups.com...

It means transferring Word Documents is no longer seamless. Bizarre. |

Nothing has changed in that regard to any of the previous versions: you can, in Word 97, 2000, 2002, 2003, use a font X, and send the document to another person with the same version of Word who has not X installed. Word will then show a font on its system which it thinks might suit best, but nothing will prevent repagination of the document in such a scenario. Completely common way before Word 2007. With the Compatibility Pack, as Bob writes, the user has even a somewhat better chance with Word 2007 to see what the sender has written than before. The fact that the majority of documents, prior to Word 2007, has been written in Times New Roman and Arial, and a somewhat smaller majority in Word 2007 will probably be written in Cambria and Calibri, is a different topic. All in all, if this enhances the awareness about explicitly deciding what font to choose for a document, all the better, IMHO. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
