To borrow Adam Twardoch's example (in the thread that Herb linked to above):

| Long Family | Long Style | Short Family | Short Style |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| My Garamond | Light | My Garamond Lt | Regular |
| My Garamond | Light Italic | My Garamond Lt | Italic |
| My Garamond | Regular | My Garamond Rg | Regular |
| My Garamond | Italic | My Garamond Rg | Italic |
| My Garamond | Semibold | My Garamond Lt | Bold |
| My Garamond | Semibold Italic | My Garamond Lt | Bold Italic |
| My Garamond | Bold | My Garamond Rg | Bold |
| My Garamond | Bold Italic | My Garamond Rg | Bold Italic |
| My Garamond | Condensed | My Garamond Cn | Regular |
| My Garamond | Condensed Italic | My Garamond Cn | Italic |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |

I belive that on a Mac system you could have one family name (Long Family) for all of the fonts above, but on a PC you need to use three seperate family names (Short Family) because MOST PC apps only allow you to access the 4 variations (regular, bold, italic, bold italic).

My point was that if you have fonts that are not named properly for PC use (they are NOT rampant, but they DO exist). And you really need to use that font in MS Word. Then the ONLY solution is to rename the family names.
