The most effective way I�ve found to configure ATM is as follows: 
1.	Save your C:\Windows\Fonts file to another drive; e.g., a CD in your Read/Write Disc Drive. Do this before you install ATM. Or, if already installed, uninstall ATM before saving. 
2.	Open your C:\Windows\Fonts file and using Windows Explorer delete all the font files shown except those noted in the ATM user�s guide as well as those noted in the readme file of ATM which you can open using W.E. 
3.	Install (or Reinstall) ATM   
4.	You now have a �Starter Set� folder which ATM created from searching your hard drive and gathering the fonts found. 
5.	Have ATM search for and add uninstalled fonts by clicking the Add Fonts tab. Then click the File � Search tab. Select �C� drive if its not already selected. ATM will create a file named Search Results. If you already have such a file change its name before initiating the search. See Page 7 of ATM 4.1 User Guide. 
6.	You now have two sets created. �Starter Set� and �Search Results�. 
7.	Create a new Set named Original Font File or whatever you want to name it. 
8.	Using ATM transfer your original C:\Windows\Fonts file from the disc you copied it to or the drive it now resides in (which should be other than the original hard drive) to the new Original Font File just created. This will take a few minutes depending on the size of your original file.   
9.	You now have three sets of fonts in ATM ---Starter Set, Search Set and Original Font File  
10.	You can now begin to build your custom sets from these three sets and any other outside font sources you have. 
11.	When you activate a custom set you will see that your application of choice includes your custom fonts activated as well as any printer resident fonts your system may have. These resident printer fonts can normally be identified with a suffix such as (W1) or some other unique notation. 
12.	Note that ATM cannot control the printer fonts of item 11 because printers normally have inaccessible Read Only Memories.  However, you should be much better off with your custom fonts combined with 15-20 printer fonts rather than a few hundred original fonts. 

This procedure worked for me using a Windows 98 Second Edition System and Office XP. If errors, or ill-advised steps, are discovered in the foregoing routine I would appreciate a response so indicating.
