    Hello,
    Is there a way to uninstall and reinstall all my fonts or a way to repair the list of fonts I have.

    The problem I'm having is when I type somthing in Word (MS office 2003) and change the font from somthing other than what I orginally typed it in they turn to boxes. If I try to change them again they stay boxes and I have to re type them. This happens with about any font and mainly in word. (I never really try to change the font in any other program)

    Is there a location on the net where I can get all the default fonts?

    It also does the same In Excel. (I use Lotus so excel is not a real problem)

    Windows XP SP2

    Thanks,
    Matt

    two things to try first

    1. Download and use TweakUI's Repair ( repair fonts folder ) option get Powertoys for XP ( TweakUI ) here http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=710
    2. Choose from Word 2003s Help ment Detect and Repair to see if fixing your Office install helps.

    Thanks Halo,

    I used TweakUI first and It seemed to work. Then I just repaired Word with the orginal disks.

    The problem is solved!
