Re: Can't mix fonts "inside" one word

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



<snip>

I think the approach is to change the font family from ITC Garamond to
one of the basics - perhaps Times New Roman. Make sure it's a Truetype
font. I *think* it can be a Windows Truetype font and that Word X in
OSX.3.9 will be able to work with it.

Probably a good idea. TTF TNR should drag & drop from PC to Mac & back as
many TTFs do. You can also send a copy of the font file along with the doc
rather than embedding (PhilD has clued you in on that). Although I'm not
sure about the OS 9-based systems I think it will work _better_ than the
previous combination.

If someone can confirm that approach, I will leap into the air, high
enough to quickly slide a newspaper under my feet, if it isn't a Sunday
paper. And then I will head for Word Help to see how to do it...

Be careful not to bump your head on the coffee table :)

BTW - Have you considered setting up the logo in PhotoShop or Illustrator &
inserting it in the docs as a graphic? Either the text item or graphic item
can also be used as an AutoText or AutoCorrect entry so you won't have to
recreate/insert it repeatedly.

Will that file view and print properly on
various flavors of Windows, and on Macs, both OS9 and OSX?

That will depend on a few other things, such as the printer drivers on each
system/platform... They are what actually dictate the final composition for
Preview & Print. Also, default resolution differences on PC/Mac - 96 ppi v.
72 ppi - will cause some degree of variation, but you can help the issue
immensely by keeping the layout as simple as possible & controlling the
formatting through the effective use of styles for both char as well as para
attributes.
