   Hi Liz,   
      
   I am currently down to 220 (and yes, the dropdown in Word   
   shows the trimmed down list), and could certainly pull more   
   out for the sake of experimentation but...   
      
   I don't think that this is a "number of fonts" issue.   
      
   That's because I just realized started having the problem   
   about a week after restoring a months old image of this   
   system. When running the system at the time that this image   
   was created, I never had the problem I have described. The   
   image had about 400 fonts by the way.   
      
   So, in effect, I went from a 400 font system with no problem   
   to a 220 font system with the problem...   
      
   Removing more of the fonts is certainly easy enough, but   
   based on what I have just added, would you agree that it may   
   be "drawing board" time?   
      
   Many thanks,   
   --   
   Kenneth
