= SUMMARY =

Deleting fonts from the Microsoft Word for the Macintosh versions 3.x and 4.0 Font menu (accomplished by pressing COMMAND+OPTION+MINUS SIGN [-] and choosing the font name) may result in the replacement of the font name with the letters “rg” when Adobe Type Reunion (ATR) version 1.0 is running. To correct this problem, close and then reopen Word. The Font menu will update without “rg” or the font name (as expected).

This problem occurs because ATR does not properly update the Font menu when changes are made. Adobe is researching this problem.

This problem does not occur in Word version 5.0.
