Shortening Font list in Word 2004

[Pitch]

is there any way to drastically shorten the fonts that are listed in
my Word (from latest version of Office 2004). Or better put: is there
a way to get Word to not read all of my fonts on my Mac? I'd like it
to only list and use about a dozen. Any special way to do this?

Word uses the fonts installed on your computer, both in your user account's
font folder as well as in the Font folder in your hard disk's Library. The
only way you can shorten that list is by disabling or deleting fonts (you
might want to use Font Book for that). Note that Office and also Mac OS X
need a couple of fonts to work correctly. I'm not sure which ones the
operating system needs, but here are the ones required by Office 2004:

Arial
Batang
Gulim
Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3
Lucida Grande
MS PMincho
MS Gothic
MS Mincho
MS Pgothic
MT Extra
PmingLiu
Simsun
Symbol
Times New Roman
Verdana
Wingding

Thank you, Michael, especially for that link, which shows the fonts
that Office absolutely needs in order to runl. I was able to delete
the rest of them from the Home/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/
Office/Fonts folder, and now Word's font list is a lot shorter.
