How to Insert Fonts in MS Word – Guide

Microsoft Word is a powerful tool that can be used to create content with tables, images, and words. It has many fonts that come with it, so you can find the right one for every occasion. However, even some of these fonts may not be enough. You may want to use a different font than all the others to create the “wow” effect you want.

If you are sharing your document that uses a new font, the recipient must have your font installed on their computer. Without the necessary font, the text in your shared Word document looks strange. In case you don’t already know, Word uses the fonts that are installed on your computer. It has no fonts of its own and depends on your system to provide fonts. This means that if you download a new font and add it to your computer, you can use it with Word.
