Software
Good Day,
I'm running Windows XP and Office XP on a new system. I installed Office without a problem, but the default font isn't right (Device Font instead of Times New Roman) and is avaliabe at 10, 12 and 17 CPI.
It seems that Office isn't installed properly, but I redid it, and it made no difference.
Any suggestions?
If your document already contains text formatted with the properties you want to use, select that text.
On the Format menu, click Font.
Select the options you want to apply to the default font. If you selected text in step 1, the properties you want will appear in the dialog box.
For Help on an option, click the question mark , and then click the option.
Click Default.
Any new document you open will use the font settings you selected
I'm not sure if this is related but I had some font issues that could be traced back to a "Font Substitution Table" in the "Device Settings" on the printer. Do you have a printer configured? You may want to check the properties there and see if they look OK. If you do not have a printer configured you should add a "Generic" printer.
In Word you can certainly choose Format --> Font; set the font that you want, and then click the "Default" button to set the default; but I would also want to check if your list of fonts to choose from looks complete. You might have a setting in Windows to only show "True Type Fonts" or something.
