When I open Word I do not see the fonts displayed in the formatting tool bar. I have had Office 97, Office 2000 and Office XP and this problem has been carried over. I am running on Windows 2000. The fonts are available in my Excel program but not Word. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have installed a printer as suggested by Microsoft and that didn't work either.

"Install" another printer(other than plain text generic printer). You don't have to have it connected. Until that is done - MSWORD and POWERPOINT but NOT Excel will appear to have only one or two fonts available.

Yes!! Thank you very much. this worked. I had wondered about the Generic Text only printer, but it seemed safest. Thanks again
