I'm wanting to add a particular typeface (Dom Casual
Bold). When I download it, where do I download it to and
how do I get it into my Word drop down list? Thanks for
any help!

You install new fonts into Windows, not Word. I usually download fonts
to a temp directory in My Documents, but pretty much anywhere you can
easily find it on your hard drive is okay. Then click on Start |
Control Panel | Fonts | File | Install New Font | <browse to the
directory where you saved your downloaded font and select the font file>

| check the "Copy fonts to Fonts folder" box. Once the font is

installed in Windows, it will be available in Word.
