Office 2010: Insert new font in Word
With a new font in Office 2010 you give Word documents an individual touch. You can insert the font in a few simple steps - we will show you how exactly.
1. Install the font on the PC
Before you can give your Word documents a certain twist with new fonts, you first need the appropriate fonts. Here we have put together 50 extraordinary fonts that you can also use in Office 2010.
- After you have downloaded a fonts package, you must add it to the fonts folder on your PC. You can then use them in Word, Excel, Powerpoint or any other software.
- The fonts folder can be found under this path: C: \ Windows \ Fonts. To get your new fonts there, you have several options. We present two simple solutions in the following paragraph.
2. Move the new font into the Fonts folder
- Right-click on the Windows start icon and select "Open Windows Explorer".
- In Windows Explorer, first select the directory in which the Windows operating system was installed under "Computer" on the left-hand side. In most cases this is "C".
- Then select the "Windows"> "Fonts" folder on the right.
- Now simply drag the new font into the "Fonts" folder. Alternatively, this works with Copy & Paste (right click> "Copy" / "Paste").
- If you call up a Word document now, you will find the newly added fonts under "Fonts".
Tip: Extract the font into the fonts folder
Even easier: If you have a font package that still needs to be extracted, enter the path "C: \ Windows \ Fonts" as the destination for the extracted files. If you no longer need to extract the new fonts or have received an error message, follow the instructions above.
