Missing Fonts in Word 2003
I need certain fonts in this new version of Word to transfer my work from
Word 2002 with the right look. Why should I spend the money to "upgrade" to this newer version with fewer fonts and have to redo all of my previous work or purchase fonts from elsewhere? I believe that newer versions should have expanded options rather than reduced ones. I also feel that these fonts should be offered as free downloads on the Office Site so that users of older versions don't have to face this problem. |

Installing a new version of Word doesn't delete any fonts. If you've moved
to a new machine, copy the fonts across. "cmiyokog" wrote in message ... I need certain fonts in this new version of Word to transfer my work from Word 2002 with the right look.

Thank you, I have a new machine and I tried to do that last night. Maybe
there is a trick. The font I want, Calligrapher, would not copy to either CD or removable drive from my old machine. I do not want to reformat business logos etc. just to make the upgrade. I may decide not to purchase this trial version that came with my new computer for just this reason alone except I do like the latest thing! Thanks again.

Microsoft "supports" all TrueType fonts. It doesn't necessarily supply all
the fonts on your computer, though; practically every program nowadays provides fonts. If you have ever owned Broderbund's Print Shop Deluxe, I think you'll find that Calligrapher came with it. -- Suzanne S.

"Jezebel" wrote: Calligrapher is not a Microsoft-supplied font -- check http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx; so you should be able to install it by going back to wherever you got it from in the first place. What other software did you install on your old machine? Failing that, persevere with copying the font from your old machine. It shouldn't be a problem -- it's just a file (or a set thereof, if you have bold, italic, etc). Just tried Googling for it -- it's a freebie: download it from here, amongst many other places: http://eknp.com/php/fd.php?f=calligrapher. "cmiyokog" wrote in message ...
