Every time I use a font in Word it gets added to the list of 'favourite'
fonts at the top of the drop-down list, and appears on all future new
documents (i.e. it gets into the normal.dot template). The list has now
become inconveniently long.

How can I delete fonts from the top of the list, please ?

The MRU list tops out at 10, I believe. But see the appropriate article of
these:

"WD2000: How to Turn off the Font Most Recently Used (MRU) List"

"How to use the Registry Options (RegOptions) macro to examine Word settings
and to make changes to Word settings in the Windows registry" (Word 2002)

Thanks. It looks as if I'll be able to sort it out from here.
