I would suggest you try rebooting Windows.

Do these fonts appear in the list for new documents or just for the
documents in which they have been used? If a document uses a font that
is
not present on the computer, it will still show up in the font box when
the
insertion point is in a paragraph that uses that font (even though Word
will
substitute another font for display and printing). If the fonts are
showing
up in new documents, does this happen even after you restart Word or
Windows? Word should be querying the printer driver on startup and
displaying the fonts the printer can print (as listed in the Fonts
folder).

If you're seeing the font listed "above the line" (in the Font MRU
list),
see the appropriate article for your version of Word:

Navigate to the font folder through Control Panel Fonts. Highlight
the
font(s), right mouse click and choose delete. Remember that the font
might be listed more than once, once for each style (Regular/Roman,
Italic, Bold, Bold Italic).

If you did not choose to copy the files to the fonts directory, the
shortcut to the font will be deleted. If the font was copied to the
font
directory (and that is the default action), the font file is deleted
from
the fonts directory.

Let us know.

Hi Tom, Thanks for responding so quickly. The fonts do not show up
in
the font folder. The thumb drive has been removed but the fonts that I
previously used still are in the drop down menu. They no longer work
because
the thumb drive is not in the machine but they are still listed. I would
like to get them out of the list. Thanks, WordKing

The fonts always appear even when I close word and open it again for
a new document. (I have not tried rebooting the machine) Not only over the
line but under the line in the regular font list. If I reinsert the
thumbdrive into the machine then I can use the fonts again but I don't ever
plan to use them again. When the drive is out of the machine the fonts are
still listed but a substitute font takes their place. The machine would not
let me copy the fonts to the fonts folder with a message that they were
already being used by windows.
Thanks WordKing
