How to embed fonts in MS Word Document (.docx) file?



How to embed fonts in MS Word Document (.docx) file ?

Okay. So it goes. You prepared a document in your computer using an MS Word 2007 or 2010 and produced a file in .docx format. You managed to format the document up to the tiniest bit of detail you wanted it to be. Just as you are convinced that you produced the perfectest output, the problem manifested itself: you cannot print the  document because either your printer ran out of ink or your printer went bad. (Mind you this isn't about repairing a printer.) So you convinced yourself to have it printed somewhere else. And, oh, before I miss including it, you forgot you're a Chinese and the document you had had Chinese characters. You had it printed using a computer WITHOUT those characters you need. So here it goes: you end up with a document with squares for characters and you're ruined.

One simple solution for this is to copy every fonts that you used in your document from your computer and install it to the computer of the person who will print your document (not to mention the hardship of convincing the non-Chinese guy to install all 67 Chinese font styles you used in your document.)

Another method is to convert the file into .pdf (portable document format) which is discussed in another post here.

But one quick and simple solution is to simply EMBED the fonts used in the document, in the document itself. Of course that would make the file size of the document larger than usual but it would surely save you of the trouble of installing the font manually or having your document flooded which bizarre square characters which is highly and extremely unreadable.

Click on the second box if the operating system of your computer and the computer that will open the file is the same. Otherwise, if your uncertain, and you think that the other computer does not have the system fonts of your computer, uncheck it. Please refer to the image below.

Solution to: BSOD - nvvsvc.exe C++ Runtime Error Can't Log in

The Problem is probably caused by: 1. Failed windows update (probably while updating either the C++ runtime library or the nvvsvc.exe or nvidia graphics driver). 2. Corrupted registry files which you can't access because of the Black Screen of Death preventing you to login. Other indications are: 1. Can't boot-up in safe mode. 2. Can't bring up the log-in screen no matter how long you wait or how hard you click or how many times to doodle with the mouse hoping the problem just heal by itself. 3.

How to Remove and Prevent Ransomware Infection (Full Guide)

How to Remove and Prevent Ransomware Infection (Full Guide) So, you think computer viruses can’t hurt you other than hiding your files and slowing your computer down? Think again. A not-so-new breed of malware called cryptolocker (or ransomware) is spreading wildly like forest fires worldwide. Can your current anti-malware prevent ransomware attacks? One of the most notorious of these ransomware programs is the infamous WannaCry. It uses an exploit in the Windows operating system that has been leaked from the National Security Agency (NSA). In a nutshell, WannaCry, like all other ransomware, encrypts your important data and files and demands money for your files to be decrypted. Currently, anti-malware software and ransomware removal tools can eliminate the virus—not decrypt your files. How a Cryptolocker like WannaCry Works First off, you need to understand that WannaCry is a worm. A worm is malicious software (or malware) that needs not be installed. The moment you receive a cop

Pokémon Go Plus to be released Sept. 16, but is it worth your money?

Finally, the wearable tech that Pokémon Go fans were promised almost a year ago after the game has been launched will be released on September 16, 2016. A lot of people, avid fans, and critics alike have had issues with the need to keep oneself pinned to the phone’s screen while playing Pokémon Go. For one, it has put many people to danger and has even caused the accidents of some. Pokémon Go Plus is the game’s companion device designed to enable players to play Pokémon Go with minimal screen interaction. The design of the device is a cross between Google map’s pin and the Poké ball which can either be worn around the wrist (similar to a watch) or pinned to clothes. It can also be stuffed in one’s pocket (preferably, chest pocket). The Pokémon Go Plus device connects to the phone (and the game) through a low-energy Bluetooth technology (Bluetooth® Smart) that is utilized by health and fitness gadgets and devices. What the $35-device does is it allows one to catch nearby Pok
