To embed a TrueType font in a saved document in Microsoft Office Word 2007, follow these steps:
-
Click the Microsoft Office Button.
-
Click Word Options.
-
On the Save tab, click to select the Embed fonts in the file check box.
NOTE: Some fonts treat normal, bold, italic, and bold-italic as separate font TrueType files. In this case, the file size of your document is larger when you use bold and italic formatting than it is if you do not.
If a font does not have a bold, italic, or bold-italic version, Windows generates bold or italic from the core font. In this case, the file size increases when you use bold or italic formatting.
Licensing rights for font embedding determine how the font may be embedded in the document. Not all fonts are licensed so that they can be embedded. If a font can be embedded, it will increase the file size of your document by approximately the size of the TrueType font (.ttf) file.
Additional information about embedding TrueType fonts can be found on the Microsoft Office support page here.
Instructions for embedding fonts with InDesign are available here.
