[QUOTE="chrisbeeching, post: 885485, member: 114551"] [b]Office font quirks on a mac[/b] Ever since I've had the most recent Office for mac (2008 edition) I've had the same problem - you type something, then style it up using whatever fonts you think look best, but whatever font you choose, Office has a mind of its own and chooses something different. Since reading the last posts I created a different user, completely uninstalled office from my main user, installed a completely fresh clean install o the new user (which has admin status) and then went back to my main user. No change. However, on the new user account Word worked as it should, with all fonts available. That may be fine for some, but I can't keep switching between users just to access Word. Is there any sensible fix to this? I'm getting really frustrated at not being able to get things looking the way I want, and am using Quark 8 more and more simply because Word doesn't work properly. Mac is an early Quad-core mac Pro, 3GHz with 8Gig RAM, latest version of OSX and has never been connected to the internet - no virusses or spyware because it's used for commercial video editing in Final Cut Studio and I can't afford any hiccups.
