Word needs the security of feeling that it can use a printer, if it wants to. Make sure that the default printer is NOT a fax
driver or Generic/Text-Only driver. You can "install" any kind of printer you want, even if it's not connected.

If the Windows fonts have been removed and you are using Win9x/ME, I recommend that you reinstall Windows on top of your current installation to replace those missing fonts.

You probably don't have any default printer configured on your computer.
Just install any printer (I suggest an HP deskjet color printer) even if you have no printer attached to your computer. It will make all the fonts available for all programs running on Windows.

Good luck,
