If you don’t embed a font then the document may look quite different on another computer. Once the embed options are on, save the document and then you can send it to other people. Most fonts don’t take up a lot of space and the Office 2007/2010 formats compress the entire document anyway.
Most Windows and Mac computers share a common set of fonts, either the same or very similar so Office usually doesn’t embed those fonts.ĭocument size can be a concern but not a big deal. ‘Do not embed common system fonts’ is another document size saving option. For example, change HOMER to MARGE on another computer, the A and G won’t show up properly because those letters weren’t included in the embedded font. This reduces the size of the document but means that any changes to the characters using the embedded font won’t show up properly. For example, if the only letters used in the embedded font are ‘H O M E R’ Word will only store the details of those five exact letters and no more.
There is another choice to embed only the parts of the font needed, rather than the entire font.
