Word Problem - Font drop down

[Spydermag68]

I only use 2 fonts but some how I have gotten 5 different fonts in the drop down box of the most used. How can I delete them out of there.

Why is that a problem? Do you ever get .DOC attachments by email? If so, the fonts they use get added to your list. If it bothers you, go to Control Panel and uninstall the offending fonts.

I don't want to remove the fonts themselves. I just do not want to see them in the top 5 most used font list of Word.

I wish I could just right click and remove them like I can in the XP start menu with "remove this program for this list"

Copy and paste the following text to a notepad document:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Options]
"NoFontMRUList"="1"

Save it as "FontListOff.reg" Merge it into the registry with Word closed. (right click the filename in Windows Explorer and select Merge)

To turn it back on again:

Change "NoFontMRUList"="1"
to
"NoFontMRUList"="0"

to start the list again (empty).

Restart Word for the change to take effect.
