Shortening Font list in Word 2004

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



is there any way to drastically shorten the fonts that are listed in
my Word (from latest version of Office 2004). Or better put: is there
a way to get Word to not read all of my fonts on my Mac? I'd like it
to only list and use about a dozen. Any special way to do this?
