While I am typing only have the letters and number appear on the screen. I
tried changing fonts but to no avail.

Are you in Draft view or Outline view, with the "Use draft font" option
checked (in Office button Word Options Advanced Show document content
section)?

If so, either unchecking that option or switching to one of the other views
should let you see the font you selected.

If that isn't it, make sure you have a font-capable printer (that is, not
the Generic Text driver) chosen as the Windows default printer.

You can always change the fonts using the menu right above. Did you try to close the application and try it once again. If not then there's something wrong with the program..
