I have a ms word file that contains graphic pictures with text superimposed
in front of the pictures. The textual material uses the "scribble font." I
want to provide this file to a commercial establishment for printing and they
do not have this font on their machine. Is there a way to include it with
the ms word file so that the printing can be done correctly? Are there any
other alternatives without adding software to the other machine?

Try:
File-->Save as. Choose Tools at the top-right. Hit Save Options. Choose
Embed TrueType fonts.

Need to check with the print shop first. Many commercial printers won't
touch TrueType fonts. They insist on Type1. Which means supply the font file
separately when you submit the print job.

Jez: I have been chuckling at some of your responses tonight. Thanks for
that--been sharing the laughs with my husband, too. So, I thought...I'll
email her to tell her I'm getting a kick out of her saying the things I want
to say, but am afraid I'll offend someone (Not talking about this post at
all, but a couple others). So, I hit reply and see your email address. I am
rolling on the floor still---tears rolling down my cheeks. Thanks again!
