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.

What happens when you remove some of the fonts? It could be a corrupt font.
I do not like those green links and spam.
I do not like them, Sam I am.

I haven't removed any yet. I will (she will have to deal with it). But it still begs the question as to why there are 2 alphabetical lists when I go into the Font menu. How does Word organize the way it lists fonts?

Thanks. Any other ideas out there?
