My fiancee went on a font installation binge (from dafont.com) and now there are problems with Word. Using the Font menu, past a certain point you can't select that font. The fonts start out alphabetically, but then restarts.
So, now when she tries to select a word within a document using this later font, it reverts to Times--just clicking on it. WTF?
The second alphabetical list can't be selected. Unfortunately, some of those are the new fonts and some of the default fonts. Does any of this make sense?
I trashed the preferences to no avail.
