One way to change the style of a document is to use a new font for the text. To add the required font to Word, download and install it on Windows so that it is available to everyone Office applications.
There are many font file sites available on the Internet, such as DaFont. You can also import font files from a CD or DVD or from your organization's network. Both TrueType fonts (TTF files) and OpenType fonts (OTF files) work well for Office applications.
Since characters with grace don't get the desired result on the monitor, but they actually get the opposite effect, you prefer to use characters with no facets, such as Verdana, Arial, or Helvetica. To select the type of font that should be rendered by the font, simply use the syntax.
However, it's good to point out right away that you can't let the user render text in the tiled character of our choice. As in the example below. For this reason, it is good to consider two options. The choice of "safe" characters, which of course are present on the user's PC, and not a single character, but a series of characters that gradually move away from the result that we would like to receive, but not so much to indicate the family to which ours belongs character. So the user's browser will try to find the first font in its fonts folder if it doesn't find it the second, and only the last beach will use the default font. Let's see some examples of "safe" character families.

Disadvantages when installing a custom font
Internet risks are inherently related. Other company and product names may be trademarks of their respective owners. You can find the new font in the dropdown menu where fonts are usually selected. If you can't find it, write it directly into the window where the font name will appear. If someone opens a document that doesn't have this new font installed, they won't see it. The same is true for you if you open the document on a different computer than where you installed the font. Basically, the text is perfect for you and it looks weird, silly, unprofessional. If you need to send a document that can be edited, you can mail only fonts and ask them to install them. When you prepare a presentation in which you have such a font, promise it from your computer. If you're projecting it from another, the font won't show up and won't show up. He will replace it with another, ordinary one. First, fast forward so you don't have to waste time on the video.
Login to the desired service
Continuing to talk about that, it is impossible not to mention where it is necessary to go further. At this stage, we should get into the font installation service, in Windows it is called "Fonts". It is located in the "Control Panel". It is for this that we opened the window of the same name.
To make it easier to find the service we need, change the display of icons to "Small" or "Large". It's just that in the category view it will be quite difficult to find the necessary element. The View menu is located at the top right of the Control Panel window. Find and select the appropriate item. Now, among all the icons and elements, find the "Fonts" service. Its icon is displayed as a folder with the letter "A" next to it.
Only where you always choose it. First of all, you need to install the plugin.

All preparations have been made, now we go directly to how to add fonts to Word.
Installing fonts
So, before going to Word, open the Fonts window itself and place next to the one in which the folder with fonts is open. All you have to do is drag the OFT or TTF files (depending on which fonts you downloaded) into the fonts window. The installation process will begin immediately after that. It doesn't last long. To make sure that the fonts are installed, look in the "Fonts" window for the name of the fonts you downloaded.
If changes to preview settings don't show up where they do, it may mean that the template is more complex. This will be a disproportionately long explanation of the purposes of this article. If they attack me. 🙂 Of course, you can ask and comment in the comments where you want to get "watercress" anyway. Fonts are collections of similar-looking fonts and are designed to be used side by side.
A font style is a variant of one of the fonts in the family. As a rule, the main font is Latin or regular. In addition, the family can include styles such as plain, bold, semi-italic, italic, and bold italic. In the documentation for your system, or software to manage fonts. Duplicated fonts are listed in their respective menus with the abbreviated name of the font technology in parentheses. By specifying a font, you can independently select the font family and font style.
You should also pay attention to the fact that often fonts are downloaded in their various guises. So, the same font can have two more versions: italic and bold. If so, then move all three files to the "Fonts" window.
That's it, the font is installed. By the way, if you don’t know how to change the font in Word to the installed one, then it’s very easy to do it. In the program, open the drop-down list "Font" and select the name of the installed font there. To make it easier to find them, they are listed in alphabetical order.
Specifying the font size
In most cases, a particular version of bold or italic is used as expected. However, some fonts may use bold or italic variants that are not explicitly bold or italic. For example, some font manufacturers specify that font offsets use bold. Click the font family name or style name in the Character panel or Control Panel and type the first few letters of the selected name. Do one of the following: Set the font size in the Control Panel or Character panel.
- Select the object or text you want to change.
- Note that this menu allows you to select a font family and style.
- If no text is selected, the font will be applied to each new text.
- If you choose Custom, you can enter a new size value in the Character panel.
Embedding fonts
So, we have already figured out how to change the font in Word. However, keep in mind that such a replacement will only be displayed on your computer and on a PC that also has these fonts installed. Otherwise, the user to whom you send the document will not be able to see your new font, since he simply does not have it in the system.
To avoid this, we will be helped by a very convenient option in Word - Font Embedding. To save a document with this option, you need to go to "File" and select "Options". Then click "Save". Now check the box next to "Embed fonts in file", and in the drop-down list, click on "Open Document".
After this setting was produced, your document will display correctly on all computers, but its size will increase significantly since the fonts have been embedded in the file itself. So you learned how to install a font in Word.
