I have Office 2003 running on Vista Home Premium with all service packs loaded.
Everyhting seems OK except the font dialog box. When I select the font diaplog box from the menu (format font), there is a good 10-20 second delay before the box appears.On other machines, that box appears instantly. On the problem machine, a lot of network activity starts when the font menu item is selected and then stops when the font dialog appears. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the office package. |

This could indicate a missing or damaged printer driver.

Thanks neighbor! (I am in Montgomery).
The printer appears to be working just fine. Is there still a possibility that the printer driver might be a problem? "Suzanne S.

In general, problems with the Font, Paragraph, Style, Page Setup, Symbol,
and other dialogues that query the printer driver will indicate a problem with the printer. If the printer is on a network, the driver should be installed locally to prevent delay. And the fact that other apps don't indicate any problem with the printer is not always a good indication, since Word works more intimately with the printer driver than most other apps. You can try switching to another driver to see if the problem persists, or delete and reinstall the printer. A damaged font is another possibility, but that's much rarer. -- Suzanne S.
