[mso] Re: WORD 2000, general font compatibility?

Hi Robert,
Regarding your first question, you can save your Word document specifying 
that it embeds the fonts you've used in it, as long as they're True Type, 
in this way it will open OK in another computer. I think there are a few 
fonts that Word will not allow to be embedded for copyright reasons, but 
most times it works OK.
To do this in Word 2000, do a "save as", and in the "save as" window click 
on tools-->general options-->embed TrueType fonts. Your file will be bigger 
than before because it will be incorporating the fonts also.
