If you read a PageMaker file written by someone else then 
PageMaker warns you if you do not have all of the requisite
fonts.  However, if you read someone else's MSWord file with
MSWord it does not warn you if you are missing some of the
necessary fonts.  It just quietly substitutes some other
(arbitrary ?) font.  Does anybody know of a way of listing all
the fonts used by a Word document ?  That is, how can I find out
what fonts I need if I am to print someone else's word document
and have it look the way they intended ?

Many thanks,
