How can I uninstall fonts I don't want?

[JudyR12]

Hi there,

I am using Office 2003 Professional and Windows XP with SP2. I am using
Word to type a thesis that requires me to use Coptic fonts - preferably
unicode. I found and installed several, one of which seems to have done
nasty things to my setup. Now, whenever I highlight text and reformat it,
the reformatting is applied to the whole document and I have to then click on
the undo button to get the formatting to work only on the piece of text I
want. Is there any way of uninstalling fonts you don't want?

I have just repaired Windows and uninstalled and reinstalled Office, but the
pesky font and the problem are both still there. I could reformat my hard
drive and start from scratch, but naturally, I'd prefer not to have to do
that.

In Word, the "applied to the whole document" problem is problably
caused by enabling "automatically update" in the style
definitions, not by a Coptic or Unicode font. You should turn
off "automatically update" as described in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/WholeDocumentReformatted.htm
, starting with the Normal style.

Thank you sooooooo much. This fixed my problem completely. I wish I had
known about thsi forum before - it would have saved me many hours of
frustration on this blinking thesis.
