According to
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/....aspx?FMID=369,
the Parade font was included in the Microsoft Greetings 99 package and a few
others. It definitely does not come with any version of Office. That page
has a link to the Ascender Corp. web site where you can buy the font for
$20, if that's what you want to do.
The other possibility is to substitute a similar font (and, while you're
doing so, you can choose a much more readable font than Parade, which is a
display font meant for small amounts of text). Go to Office button Word
Options Advanced, scroll down to the "Show document content" section, and
click the Font Substitution button. Select the Parade font in the list box,
and choose a font in the Substituted Font box. I'd suggest something like
Verdana to replace Parade. Click the Convert Permanently button and answer
the prompts.

I've received a document that opens as "Parade" font. The document
(all 145 pages) needs a complete reformat which is going to take
hours, if not days, to do. This document has been opened on the
original PC and did not need the reformating. However, the original
PC has now been wiped clean. Could my issue perhaps be that "Parade"
is not one of the fonts installed with Office 2007? I am thinking
that perhaps "Parade" was installed with a Greetings Workshop
installation to the original (now wiped clean with installation CD's
gone) PC. Could the acquirement of "Parade" solve my problem? If
so, how do I locate "Parade".
