Garbage in All Word Docs
to: garfield-n-odie
Thank you and Aloha !! "garfield-n-odie" wrote: Microsoft has never included the Courier font with any of its products. You possibly got Courier from a non-Microsoft program, or maybe with a HP Laserjet printer driver. If you can determine the source of the font, then you can reinstall the font from that source. Or if you have access to a computer that has the Courier font installed, then (copyright issues aside) you might copy the font file from the C:\Windows\Fonts folder in that computer to the corresponding folder in your computer. kauaibob wrote: Thanks garfield-n-odie .. that works. Since this only resolves the issue in each document, meaning I have to do this routine for each document, shouldn't I be able to locate the old "courier" font and somehow load it in so that it resolves my problem globally in Word ?? Can you advise on where and how to do that ?? Thanks again !! "garfield-n-odie" wrote: Because you don't have the Courier font installed, Word will try to substitute another font for Courier. Apparently, the substituted font is "some weird language". In Word, open a document that has this problem, click on Tools | Options | Compatibility | Font Substitution, and tell Word what font you want it to substitute for Courier. kauaibob wrote: When I open my doc's they have some weird language. It has the proper indenting and bolding and underlines in it. My settings are all proper. I open them the right way (ie. not with field codes), the language is correct, etc. I can print the doc and it prints just fine in English. I can save the doc as a text file and it saves fine as a text file. When I open it as text it is English, in text, with all of the formatting gone, of course. The problem is in Courier 12. If I highlite the whole doc and change the font size to 14, problem solved. If I do the same and go back to 12 I get the strange language again. If I change the font, problem solved. When I try to change the font back to Courier, I can't, as there is no Courier font, only Courier New. If I change it to Courier New it is okay and in English again. So on all of my Word Docs which are all in Courier 12, I will have to change them all to Courier New. Anyone have this problem before and know of a quicker fix?? |
