While Microsoft Word comes with a number of standard fonts, such as Arial, Courier New, and Times New Roman, you can install new fonts on your computer at any time--and then use those fonts to spice up your Word documents.
You can download many fonts from the Internet. In addition to acquiring new fonts through other programs, you can also install new fonts individually. Some are available for purchase and some are available free of charge.The Microsoft Typography site provides three separate links to font foundries that sell fonts commercially, distribute them as shareware, or give them away for free.
Once you have found a new font that you would like to use with an Office program, you need to download the font from the Internet and install it through the operating system that you are currently using on your computer. Because fonts work with the operating system, they are not downloaded to Office directly. You should use the Font Control Panel in Windows, and then the font will work with Office automatically.
When you download a font from a Web site, you will usually download a .zip file, which is a compressed file format that makes the download smaller. You will need to unzip the .zip file before you can add those fonts to your computer. To unzip a file, locate the file using Windows Explorer, right-click the file name, and then select Extract All in the shortcut menu.
