Remove Fonts from Word Application

[Antonette]

Sorry guys I did not know where to request this info. I need to remove most
of the fonts from the Word software we are installing in the classrooms.

The English teachers only want seven of the over 75 fonts we have now.

How do I remove the unnecessary fonts?


Thanks in Advance

Toni

You could create a macro named FormatFont() in a template that you place in
the Word Startup Folder that displayed a UserForm that emulated the Format
Font Dialog, but only included in the List of Fonts the ones that you want
to be available. You would also have to remove Font pulldown from the
menu/toolbar system so that it was no longer available.

Good to hear. It is not often that I can come up with a way of doing
something where Karl Peterson hasn't.

Nice "fix." (What if macros are disabled?)

As a side note, boy, it just goes to show ya. Even after *all* these years, I still
haven't learned you *never* say "can't be done."

The question was asked in a VBA group so one should be able to assume that
they are not?

Yes, that is something that I am very wary of saying.

Well yeah, if writing macros for oneself, certainly. I never assume they're not
disabled when writing for instititutional distribution. Probably oughta disclose
the mindset bias that shades an answer, if/when I'm aware of it. <g>
