I have an employee who just received a new workstation with windows&office 2000. On some of her word documents she uses wing-dings font for certian characters. They work great in office 97 but won't print from office2000. Any suggestions?

Since the wingding font probably wasn't embedded into the document when it was saved, one route would be to install it on the new machine. Another is to go to embed the font. It makes the document larger, but ensures portability. To do that, go to a machine where it can be viewed. On the menu choose TOOLS : OPTIONS. On the SAVE tab check EMBED TRUETYPE FONTS, and then save the file. IT should work okay. You can reduce the file size a bit by selecting the box EMBED CHARACTERS IN USE ONLY.
