455607 2006-05-17 22:09:00 I got a macro (for Excel I think) years ago from PCWorld for printing a list of all the fonts on my system. It was for Win98. I don't remember how to do it, but I need to do it now for XP Pro.

I need the fonts printed for not only the installed fonts, but also about a zillion others that I've got stored.

The list printed out similar to this (I've only typed the first few letters - the list included all the alphabet):

Arial Black ABCDEFabcdef
Book Antiqua ABCDEFabcdef
Comin Sans MS ABCDEFabcdef
etc.

Thanks for any help.

It shows u what they look like, and u can print them . Dont know if u can print ALL the fonts on one page tho .

I think this is the function I used (it's in my bookmarks)

Yep thats the one

it prints the name of the font in the first column then the alphabet and 0 -10 in the next column in the specified font

455611 2006-05-18 12:42:00 Ah thanks Nigel. It worked a treat. I even figured out how to actually install and run it all on my ownsome!

Next issue is to print all the additional fonts I've got (the macro only prints installed system fonts). I don't want to clog up the system by installing them all.
