Hi Rick, (Other Vista users may wish to note)

Thank you too.  You've just helped me pinpoint yet another annoying
thing with Vista.

The File, Edit, View, Tools, Help menus do not show up initially, and
so if you have a sighted person looking at the screen, they may not
see them.  They are most certainly not there, so please don't accuse
your sighted help of being blind as well. 

However, tap the Alt key, and they magically appear. Indeed Alt is a
toggle, so tap it again, and they disappear.

And just to annoy the sighted user even further, if you do have these
menu titles showing, when you mouse click on the Close button, top
right of the dialog, the first click simply makes the titles
disappear.  A second click is required to close the dialog.

Undoubtedly Microsoft will tell you that this is a wonderful new
feature to save screen real estate!  Not!

George.

Hi George,

Thanks.  You pointed me in the right direction.

I went into the files menu of Fonts in Control Panel.

I  then went to the file menu by pressing Alt.

I chose Install Font.

I was given a list of drives and locations.  It can only be in certain

locations.  I chose Temp.  After pressing the Install button,
everything 
went as expected.

When I got into Word, the APHont was one of the choices.

The only difference between what you told me was it was in the file
menu, 
not the context menu.
