Hi all,
I am a newbie and attempting to put a web page together. What I would
like to know is if there is a way to use the fonts that I have with
WORD 2003. Also, is it possible to use the graphics that comes with
Word?
Thanks for the help.

With pictures, you will probably have to be careful about Microsoft's
copyrights. I've heard their attorneys have no sense of humor.

You mean clipart? You can but you'd best read the EULA on Microsoft's site
on clipart usage.

You can use any font you want, but if it is not a web font, it will either
be converted to an web font or an image, neither desirable. To see what are
"web fonts" select some text > Format > Font and look for the option "show
only web fonts", and then just click the chevron to see the fonts available.

Skip - I'm in the same boat of newbies that you are and just finished a first
skirmish with fonts. The only way to get the fonts you want to use is to
create a graphic image of the text and save as a GIF or JPG (read up to
decide which to use). You can set PUB to display the choice of web-friendly
fonts only, which helps you resist the urge to use the one you want.

Do you have a photo/graphics editor that can create VECTOR files - not
raster? Paint Shop Pro does it and so does Adobe Photo Shop. Kodak won't.
After several hours of editing myself, I'd reccomend saving the fancy fonts
for headers only and resign yourself to web-approved fonts for the text.

Word Art is also tempting, but it will not display the "Art" properly unless
the viewer has the font, too. "Save as picture" is a quick route to choppy
graphics - BTDT. Don't dispair - Arial is a nice, legible font...

If you choose to go with a graphics editor, I do like the Paint Shop Pro.
You can find a version of PSP 9 or "X" through some of the cheap software
places - it's up to XI now and that one is finicky. You can also use it edit
or create some great photos or graphics and avoid a run-in with MonsterSoft.

Good luck!

I want to thank you all for the great info. I will try and do what I
can do with the graphics as I really don't want MS knocking at my
door.
I think for now, I am going to just stay with the fonts as they are
instead of trying to make new ones.
Again, thanks for the great input.
