Thumbs up Answer: Calibri font shows as question marks in squares

Hi Dee,

It sounds like the issue you're experiencing is related to font compatibility between different versions of Microsoft Word. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
  1. Check if Calibri font is installed on the recipient's computer: If the recipient's computer doesn't have the Calibri font installed, it won't be able to display the font correctly. You can ask the recipient to check if Calibri is installed on their computer by going to Control Panel Fonts.
  2. Embed the font in the document: You mentioned that you've already embedded the font, but it's worth double-checking to make sure it was done correctly. Here's how to embed fonts in Word 2007:
    PHP Code:
    Click the Office button in the top left corner of the screen.
    Click Word Options at the bottom of the menu.
    Click Save in the left-hand menu.
    Check the box next to "Embed fonts in the file".
    Select "Embed only the characters used in the document (best for reducing file size)".
    Click OK to save the changes
  3. Try saving the document in a different format: If embedding the font doesn't work, you can try saving the document in a different format that's compatible with Word 2003. Here's how to do it:
    PHP Code:
    Click the Office button in the top left corner of the screen.
    Click Save As.
    Choose "Word 97-2003 Document" from the "Save as type" dropdown menu.
    Click Options.
    Check the box next to "Embed TrueType fonts".
    Select "Embed all characters" from the dropdown menu.
    Click OK to save the changes.
    Save the document
  4. Use a different font: If none of the above steps work, you can try using a different font that's compatible with both Word 2007 and Word 2003. Some good options include Arial, Times New Roman, and Verdana.
