Hi,
I have a hard copy of a document and I need to copy it. Is there any way to
determine the font without tedious trial and error?

You could use the macro provided he

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q209205/

to print out samples of all of the fonts available on your system. If you
can match your document to one of the samples, you're in business (and you
have much better vision than I have).

The most likely - but still not 100% reliable - is to have it reviewed by
someone with extensive typesetting experience & a keen eye.

Good Luck |:)

Thanks, Herb for the link, however I don't know how to use a macro...can you
explain how to do this? Thanks in advance.

A lot depends on what version of Word you're using. This article is a good
place to start:

See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm, but also see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eGenerator.htm for a possibly
better (and user-customizable) font sample macro.
