In excel, when I view the font pull down menu, there are lots and lots
of fonts listed. I only use about 6. How do I remove the rest so
they do not take up so much space on the pull down menue?
You can't do this just in XL. If you want to limit yourself system wide,
you can do it in a couple of ways:
1) If you're in OSX 10.3.x (Panther) you can use Font Book to disable
all but the fonts you want.
2) Otherwise, there are 4 locations for fonts that Office looks for:
a) HD:System:Fonts - Leave these alone - OS X need 'em
b) HD:Library:Fonts - Ditto, unless you (or your machine's
administrator) added them
c) HD:System Folder:Fonts - these are the Fonts used with Classic. If
you don't run classic, rename the Folder to "Fonts (disabled)"
d) ~:Library:Fonts - (where ~ is your home directory). These are your
user fonts. Trash/move them at will. If you're using Office2004, leave
any fonts that you use in this folder - Office will preferentially use
fonts in this folder, even if they have the same name as the others. MS
provides 4 Unicode Fonts (including Arial and Times New Roman) that have
far more glyphs than the Apple versions).
This probably won't get you to 6, but it'll clear out a bunch...
