= SUMMARY =

To add fonts to the Font menu in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, do the following:


 * 1) From the Format menu, choose Character.
 * 2) Press COMMAND+OPTION+PLUS SIGN (on the keypad). The pointer cursor now becomes a large bold plus sign (+).
 * 3) Click the font you want to add to the Font menu. If you want to add more than one font, hold down the SHIFT key while clicking the desired fonts. Each time you click a font name with the plus cursor, the menu bar flashes bold.
 * 4) When all desired fonts are added and the plus cursor is still showing, press COMMAND+PERIOD to return to the arrow cursor. Click the Cancel button to close the Character dialog box.

You can use this same general process to add font sizes to the Font menu. For more information, see the “User’s Guide to Microsoft Word” versions 5.0 manual, pages 718-719, or the “Menus” section on pages 191-201 in the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 4.0 manual, or pages 204-208 in the “Reference to Microsoft Word” version 3.0 manual.

If you want to remove fonts from the Font menu, press COMMAND+OPTION+HYPHEN (-) to change your cursor to a minus sign. Then, select the font you want to remove from the Font menu. That font will then be accessible only through the Character dialog box.
