Add Fonts To MS Word

This instructable is designed for the Microsoft Word user who loves to use different fonts while typing. In this instructable I will explain how to add the font you download to the Microsoft Word program.

Please note that other computers do not have the fonts you have downloaded, so it might just be best if you kept your fonts to yourself for self printing purposes.

Enjoy!

Step 1Download Font

We can't add any new fonts without downloading them first can we?

Step 1Go to daFontand choose any font that you wish. Download it, and save it to
C:>Documents and Settings
Step 2 After you save it, open it in the Documents and Settings folder and click File>Extract All. If you do not have this option download an extractor. (You should already have it though). Now that you have extracted it, you have full access to the font now. You can do anything you like with it, but what we want to do is to add it to the Windows Microsoft Word.

How DO I Do That? Next Step of course!

Cool, Didn't know I could do this. If I send it to someone else, however, it won't display with it like that unless they have the font, right?

Thanks! Its really cool but I also have Microsoft one note for my tablet. Do you know of a way to get a font for that program?

This isn't just for Word. Once you put the file in the Fonts folder they should be available to all the programs you have. All the ones that let you choose a font anyway. A good source for fonts, btw, is themeworld.com. There are a ton of sources out there though!
