SYMPTOMS
When you search for a font in a document using the Find or Replace
command, the font is not listed in the Font list box of the Find Font
dialog box.
CAUSE
This problem may occur if the font is embedded in the Word document. In
the
Find Font dialog box, Word lists only those fonts that are installed in
the
operating system--fonts embedded in a Word document are not available as
formatting options in the Find and Replace commands.
Text formatted with an embedded font is listed in the font list on the
Formatting toolbar. This information is preserved to facilitate round-trip
transfer between different computers and platforms.
RESOLUTION
To search for a font that is embedded in a document but not installed in
the operating system, type the font name into the Font list box in the
Find
Font dialog box. To do this, follow these steps:
- On the Edit menu, click Find.
- Click the More button, click the Format button, and then click
Font.
- Click the Font tab.
- Type the font name in the Font box, and then click OK.
