Of course, what I want is to recurse through all the available
font types I have, printing a line in each of the fonts. This is
nothing more than to have a quick glance at printed fonts,
as they look right out-a-my printer tray.
Thought maybe one of you might have done this before.
Can you do it using Word?
Create a new Word document.
Click on Tools + Macro + Record New Macro
When the new macro dialog opens write
ListFont
as the Macro Name.
Click OK.
Type any few characters then click the Stop Macro button.
Click on Tools + Macro
Select the ListFont macro + Edit
Delete ALL the existing text of the macro.
Copy and paste the following code:
Sub ListFont()
'
' Will display all fonts available on your computer
'
Dim ListFont as Variant
Application.Scr eenUpdating = False
Documents.Add Template:="norm al"
For Each ListFont in FontNames
With Selection
.Font.Name = "Arial"
.Font.Size = 12
.TypeText ListFont
.TypeText Text:=Chr(11)
.Font.Name = ListFont
.TypeText "ABCDEFGHIJKLMN OPQRSTUVWXYZ"
.TypeText Text:=Chr(11)
.TypeText "abcdefghijklmn opqrstuvwxyz"
.TypeText Text:=Chr(11)
.TypeText Text:="12345678 90!@#$%^&*()"
.TypeText Text:=Chr(11)
.InsertParagrap hAfter
.MoveDown Unit:=wdParagra ph, Count:=1, Extend:=wdMove
End With
Next ListFont
Selection.Whole Story
Selection.Sort
Selection.HomeK ey Unit:=wdStory
End Sub
=========
Save the macro change and exit back to your document.
Click Tools + Macro
