Re: Strange font problem in Word

Hi Jan:

You're welcome.

I don't see how deleting all of the preferences (so you have to re-customise
every Microsoft application you own) is quicker than setting ONE preference
correctly in a single application -- but your mileage very obviously varies
:-)

Cheers

Hi Jan:

From the Word Help:

Text that I print looks different from text on the screen.
? Microsoft Word might be using draft fonts to display text. On the Word
menu, click Preferences, and then click View. Under Show, clear the Draft
font check box.
? The font in your document might not be available on the printer you're
using. Change the font in your document to a TrueType font, or change the
font to one that is available on your printer.
? Animated text effects aren't printed. If text in your document is
animated, it will print with the underlying text formatting ? such as bold
or italic ? but the animated effects will not be printed.

Thanks for the tips, but I got Word in his normal state again. I just
deleted the whole Microsoft folder in the Preferences folder in stead of
just the Word-preferences which I did first.
I kept the ACL-files, because I typed a lot of words in it.
By the way, those words in the ACL file I typed them from the Windows
Word version, because in Holland they do not add the standard
auto-correction words in the Mac version.
