Fonts for MS Office 2019 on Mac OS
Hi All, I've been directed to you experts by the MS Support team. MS Office 2019 stores its fonts in the /Applications/Microsoft Word.app/Contents/Resources/DFonts folder, however, all other fonts on the Mac are stored in either /System/Library/Fonts (system or Apple fonts) or /Library/Fonts (other user-installed fonts). The effect is that the MS fonts don't appear in FontBook and so can't be enabled, disabled or otherwise managed. Further, they can't be seen or used by non-MS apps leading to font consistency issues. To simplify font management and ensure use across all apps, I would like to remove all the MS fonts from DFonts and move them to Library/Fonts. If I do so will I 'break' the Office apps? Are there any fonts that Office requires as a minimum in DFonts to enable Word, Excel and Powerpoint to function? To remove the fonts from DFonts; is it simply a case of adding the fonts to Library/Fonts in the usual way with FontBook and then deleting the fonts from DFonts? Only, this article suggests its more complex and involves editing .plist files: http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html#officefonts Are there any other restrictions or ramifications to be aware of? Many thanks in advance for your advice. All the best, Charlie,
emf figures blurred/unusable in Mac Word
Dear All, A colleague has emailed me a docx file in which he has embedded some nice emf files. He is a Windows user and has the latest version of Word installed. I can clearly see the emf figures if I open the Word file directly from the Outlook Web (although they appear as raster, not vectorised). Unfortunately, the figures become completely blurred (very low resolution, completely unusable) if I open the Word file using Mac Word (v. 16.47). This is really puzzling me as Word for Mac Help has emf among the "graphic file types that you can insert in Office documents". To be fair, it doesn't say that they are properly shown... Any idea why this is happening? I understand why my colleague is using emf for his vectorised figures, but this makes the collaborative work very difficult. Thanks, Alessandro
Images used in Word template are not displayed in the email message (Mac OS, MS Word Mail Merge)
Hello, I'm struggling on this matter. Tried tons of things but nothing is helping to reveal the images within the email. Please find more details below. 1. First, I create the email message content (it consists of banner image + text) - please check attached screenshot I tried to insert image via Insert tab of Word, via dragging and putting it in the document, via copying and pasting and via all possible available options. 2. Set Mail merge settings (recipients, merge tags, etc.) 3. Send it as a HTML message. I receive the email properly. The only issue I have is that the inserted image is not being displayed. On outlook shows with a question mark and in Gmail it is not showing at all. It just shows as [cid:image001.png@01D7038D.E5D9B080] placeholder. The strange thing is that when sending this same template from Windows Word Mail Merge, it works perfectly, no issues with it. The issues start when I use Mac Word Mail Merge. Any ideas or help will be very very much appreciated. Many thanks
