I recently upgrades computers and now have Office 2007 Basic on Windows XP, 
previously had 2003. I have very limited fonts in my drop-down list now. More 
are listed in the font folder, but I can't seem to use them. I am using the 
same printer as always. The driver is correct, but I even uninstalled and 
reinstalled the printer for the heck of it, didn't fix it. The fonts are 
available in Excel and print correctly from that program. I can also open and 
print the fonts from the font folder. I tried typing the font name to use it, 
but it doesn't come up with the correct font.

Your link just re-states the potential printer driver problem. I'm not using 
a generic driver, I'm using the driver from my installation disk. I also 
deleted the printer altogether and reinstalled it. If it's still a printer 
problem, what other driver should I install?

It is not the fact that you have a printer or driver installed but that the 
active printer in Word is a printer that can print the fonts. By default the 
active printer will be the Windows default printer. Check your print dialog 
and see what the active printer is.

The printer checkmarked under Printers and Faxes as the default is the one I 
always print to. When I print from Word, that's the printer it defaults to. I 
tried opening a document and changing the printer to another one in our 
office, but the list of fonts did not change.

Word's relationship with the printer driver is very close - much more so 
than most other software - and provides its ability to format the document. 
If the fonts are not displayed it suggests that active printer driver cannot 
print the fonts from Word. Word will not for example display screen fonts 
nor will it display Adobe fonts if it is switched to use only Truetype 
fonts. If the printer is configured to use its internal fonts, it may only 
display those. Check your printer driver settings. What are the fonts that 
it does not display?

How can I tell what the printer driver settings are or whether it's 
configured to use internal fonts? The only driver info I can find says it's 
for Intel Windows 2000 or XP, the processor is hpzpp3xt, and the Default Data 
Type is RAW. Under "About" it says the driver file is HPW98003.GPD dated 
5.12.2005.
I used to use Lucida Handwriting a lot, but it doesn't come with Office 
Basic. So I was looking for some type of script or anything similar. There 
are a few shown in the Fonts folder, but the only ones listed for use are all 
basic lettering.

This is the same printer I used with Word 2003. What changed?

Go to Start | Settings | Printers, right-click on your printer and choose
Properties. Explore the various tabs.

Also, in the Fonts folder, go to Tools | Folder Options | TrueType Fonts and 
make sure that "Show only TrueType fonts in the programs on my computer" is 
not checked.

Re: Printer Properties - that's where I got the info I posted before.
Re: True Type Fonts - it's not checked.
Any other suggestions? I'll take all the help I can get!

The information you posted from printer Properties had to do with the 
drivers, not font settings. There are often settings specifically regarding 
fonts (telling the printer to download them as "soft fonts" or "bitmaps," 
for example).

It will depend on the printer and driver. For my LJ4100, the setting is at 
General | Printing Preferences | Details with one driver and General | 
Printing Preferences | Advanced with another. For the DJ6122, there is no 
setting that I can find. This is under Windows XP. Under Windows 2000, I had 
different drivers with different settings. So ymmv.

Believe me, I've checked out every tab available, learned a lot, but nothing 
regarding fonts. I have a DJ9800. I've searched HP's help also and there's 
nothing about fonts there. I tried choosing a different printer, and I get 
the same font list, but all printers available to me are HP. This happened 
when I got my new computer, but I installed the printer with the same disk as 
the first install, so I can't help but keep thinking it has to do with Word 
2007. My old computer had 2003.
