Question
I got an architectual font from my boyfriend (who is an Architect) and uses this shx file font in AutoCad.  How can I get it to work in Microsoft Word?  I have Windows XP and Word 2000.

Answer
Hi -- well, I am an Interior Designer and an AutoCAD teacher, and do not advertise any expertise in Word.
My best shot would be to use Google and other places, including Word Help, to see if Word might accept the font.
Good luck.
OR-- have him do what you want and print it from AutoCAD -- I have used it to make posters and signs before, lol.
