Windows ME Fonts for Office Pro 2003

[Michael Boleynn]

Question:

Is there a way to get a Word font (Baabook Bold) that's
available only on Windows ME version of Word, onto an
Office Professional 2003 version of Word?
I am told the listing of available fonts are not the same
between them.

Background:

I am going to upgrade my PC operating system from Windows
ME to Office Professional Edition 2003 (Home Use Program).
I have to do this because I am taking lots of work home
now and my employer uses it and wants all of us to also.

I use the Windows ME fonts in Word (specifically Baabook
Bold) for a side business I operate from my home. I want
to continue to do this. I am told that the Word fonts in
Office Professional 2003 are different from those of the
ME system and do not include the Baabook Bold feature I
need.

Is there a way I can get this font in Word on Office Pro
2003? All of my letterheads, flyers, advertisements, and
other company image and correspondence materials are using
the Baabook Bold font. It will be a major problem for me
if this is not possible.

Office 2003 will not operate on Windows ME only Windows 2000 or XP, that said, copy
the font onto a floppy or CD, when you upgrade you can reinstall the font. Office
2003 shouldn't remove any fonts, but if you have doubts saving a copy would be a good
safeguard. This particular font is not a Windows font, any version.
