Hi Linda, <<have you checked to see if they are there?>> Yes, I have. The Font folder in Control Panel shows separate files for bold versus italics versus normal for some type styles. In the drop down font window within Word, in some cases, only a single instance of that type style is shown (but of course, bold and italics are options). This may be the reason I see fewer choices in the drop down window than the number of files in the Windows Font folder. I interpret your reply to mean that fonts become "integrated" into Office merely by being stored in the Windows Font folder (as properly formatted files). If that is correct, then I ought to be able to gain additional fonts for Office if I copy into that folder the font files associated with other non-Office applications. Please confirm. Thank you for your help.
