Hi,
I installed OfficeXP and Word fonts will not work. Excel allows me to select
and use all fonts that are installed in the directory \windows\fonts, but
Word only shows about 10 fonts, none of them being the usual "Times new
roman' or 'Arial', etc. I reinstalled the software but still the same
problem. On checking again, PowerPoint has the same problem so only Excel has
fonts working.
Any ideas to help would be greatly appreciated, I already lost 4 hours
trying to reinstall, what a waste unfortunately.
Thanks,
Rod

Hi Rod,

In Word 2002's (XP) File=>Print check to see if you've selected a TrueType capable printer as the default. Without a printer choice
that can use the fonts Word won't make the fonts available to a document.
