Best way to send document with exact fonts?
Is there a way that I can send a Word document so that the recipient
will see the exact fonts that I used even if they do not have those fonts installed on their computer? |

Sure, print it to a PDF file and send that.

Best way to send document with exact fonts?
Under Save Options, you can 'embed fonts', but it really bloats the
document, because it now includes font sets for every font type you use. Obviously, this isn't a great idea for emailing! So as Ben suggests, PDF is probably the best option. If you use Word 2007, you can download the free PDF add-in for Office from the Microsoft Office support site. One other alternative is that you can create your document, SelectAll and then paste it into a free graphics utility such as IrfanView and save it as a jpeg. Then open a blank email and use Insert, Picture with the advantage that it cannot be edited by the recipient either. But again, the result is going to be BIG. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Sesquipedalian Sam" wrote in message ...

It works pretty well. Thanks for that pointer. I also tried embedding the fonts. It didn't bloat the document too much. Thanks for that as well. |
