Missing Fonts in Word Art

[PIPster]

When I open up a Pub 2003 document on a computer that did not create the
document, the fonts that are missing on the current computer are listed as
the document is opened. These missing fonts are only those used in text
boxes, not the fonts used in word art. The word art just defaults to an
arial font. When I open the "edit text" menu in word art, the font box is
blank.

Do I have a setting wrong or is this just how it is with Publisher 2003?

Thanks,

No, that's the way things are. I think it's to do with Publisher's
WordArt deriving from Office's shared drawing features (Escher), whereas
the text box was designed especially for Publisher.
