[mso] What Is Indication When Fonts Default? (Word2003)

To All,
In Office 2003 Word, an author sent me a DOC file incorporating a font that
was not installed on my PC. When I selected that text, the window in the
Formatting toolbar showed the name of the font style the author had used. I
was not aware that I did not have that font style installed. The version of
the document on my PC defaulted to Courier without any warning or indication
that I noticed. Does Word give any indication when it is using a default
font in place of one that is not available? If Word doesn't give an explicit
warning, is there a way to query the DOC file to see if it wants any missing
fonts?

This is on a Win7 64-bit Professional PC.

Thanks for the help.

Ray Shapp
