The following sample Visual Basic for Applications macro creates a new blank document, and inserts a sample of each available font:
Sub ListFonts()
Dim varFont As Variant
' Speed macro processing and suppresses display.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
' Create new document.
Documents.Add Template:="normal"
' Loop through each available font.
For Each varFont In FontNames
With Selection
' Format name of font.
.Font.Name = "times new roman"
.Font.Bold = True
.Font.Underline = True
' Insert Font name.
.TypeText varFont
' Insert a new paragraph after the Font Name.
.InsertParagraphAfter
' Move to the new paragraph.
.MoveDown unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1, Extend:=wdMove
' Format the font example.
.Font.Bold = False
.Font.Underline = False
.Font.Name = varFont
' Enter example text (Alphabetic characters).
.TypeText "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
' Insert a new paragraph.
.InsertParagraphAfter
' Move to the new paragraph.
.MoveDown unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1, Extend:=wdMove
' Insert example text (Numeric characters).
.TypeText "0123456789?$%&()[]*_-=+/<>"
' Insert two new paragraphs and move down.
.InsertParagraphAfter
.InsertParagraphAfter
.MoveDown unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1, Extend:=wdMove
End With
Next varFont
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
