Re: Embedding fonts

Hi;
It took a while to find the time to check this out. However, I located
some information but have not had the time to try it.

Load normal.dot, change the embedding options to those you want and save
the template. Now, each document based on the template will inherit the
setting.

If you have modified Normal.dot, you might want to save a copy somewhere
before making this change.

Also, you might consider modifying a renamed copy of Normal dot instead
and using that when you want fonts embedded. Remember that all documents
that use Normal.dot will be affected if you make that change in it. Of
course, ignore that idea if you see fit.

Also, it is possible to use a macro to turn embedding on. It can be set
as an autoexecute macro that runs when you select File Save.

See:

Hope some of this is useful.
