View actual Font styles in pull-down menu of toolbar

[Lorna]

In the Formatting toolbar, there is a pull down font menu.
I would really, really like to view these in their actual
font style. I have had this on other computers and seen it
on friend's too but I don't know how to get it to come up.
I asked this before (couldn't find the thread again) but
the instructions given were with options which I didn't
have. We are using Office 97 with XP. Is the Office 97
version unable to do this? Much appreciated!

Is it in Tools, Customize, Options, List Font?

 

[Lorna]

This is what the other person told me but mine doesn't
have a "list font" to select. It only has these 3 to
choose from: "large icons', "show screen tips on toolbar",
and "show shortcut keys in screentips".

Do you have a printer installed?

Office 97 does not list fonts in the font style. There are add-ins that
will let you do this. Look on downloads.com or at http://www.wopr.com for
some assistance. I seem to remember that Woody Leonhard had published one
add-in for this purpose.

Hi Lorna,

This feature was introduced in Office 2000.
