How do I change the font of my file names in the "Open" pane?
I have just upgraded to Office 2007, and when I select "Open" to open a new
file, then font on my file names is Courier...I think it used to be Times New Roman. Is there any way to change the font? |

Are you sure the font is Courier and not Calibri?
If it's Courier, then it's possible that there is no default printer. This can limit what fonts show up in Word. If the printer isn't the issue, then it might be a corrupted normal.dotm file. I would try renaming normal.dotm (normal.dot, too, if it's still present) and see if that gives you acceptable results. You might need to set Windows Explorer to display hidden/system files in order to locate Normal.dot and Normal.dotm. When you find one, the other should be in the same folder. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Susan" wrote in message ...

I don't believe that anything in Word or Office has any effect on what font
is used in Explorer windows, of which the Open dialog is one. I'm running Word 2007 under Windows XP and still see the file list in Tahoma or whatever font it is that Windows uses. Windows Vista may use a different font, or a different desktop theme may use a different font. -- Suzanne S.

I must've replied in my sleep--I somehow read this as being the font in
documents, the subject line and the text of the message not penetrating my tired brain. As Suzanne says, nothing in Word itself would affect this. About the only thing that I can think of that would be causing the problem would be if one or more of your display font files (such as Tahoma or whatever it is that Word/Windows use to display the file list) is damaged or missing. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.
