如果您厌倦了Microsoft Word中相同的默认字体选择,或者想要真正用新字体美化文档,您应该知道向Microsoft Word添加字体是可能且容易的。
使用DaFont(DaFont)或1001 Free Fonts等第三方网站,您可以浏览其广泛的选择并免费下载新的独特字体。如果您想要更优质的东西,还有很多网站可以购买更多质量控制的字体来安装和使用,例如FontShop或FontSpring。
但是,您可能不知道如何将它们安装到Microsoft Word中。这实际上非常简单。您需要做的就是找到您要使用的字体,然后按照以下步骤进行安装。
查找要安装的字体(Finding a Font to Install)
网络上有数以千计的免费字体可供您将字体添加到Microsoft Word,尽管它们的质量水平不同。
还要确保您从中下载字体的网站是合法的。您下载的文件总是有可能不安全,因此请务必在完成任何下载之前检查该网站。
找到网站后,浏览字体并选择适合您心目中的任何风格的字体。在您搜索时,请注意您应该寻找的其中一些方面:
- 字体是否易于阅读?
- 你能加粗、斜体或下划线吗?
- 字体集是否包含数字和特殊字符?
当您找到要安装的字体后,附近可能会出现一个下载按钮,单击它会将字体的 .zip 文件保存到您的计算机。在本例中,我使用的是DaFont网站。下载后,您可以在浏览器中单击文件,或在文件管理器中找到它。
在 Microsoft Word 上安装字体(Installing The Font On Microsoft Word)
现在您已经找到并下载了字体集,找到并打开该文件。按照以下步骤轻松将字体添加到Microsoft Word。
- 在文件管理器中,单击下载字体的.zip文件。
- 在右上角,单击全部提取(Extract All)。选择要将提取的文件保存到的位置。
- 将打开一个新窗口,其中包含您提取的文件。您还可以在文件管理器中找到解压缩的文件,无论您选择将其保存在何处。现在,单击字体文件。您可以使用Opentype或Truetype文件。
- 将打开一个窗口,显示您的字体示例。在左上角,单击安装(Install )按钮。
- 如果您想确保您的字体已安装,请打开Windows 控制面板(Windows Control Panel)并单击Appearance & Personalization > Fonts。在搜索框中搜索您的字体并确保它出现。
此外,安装字体的另一个选项是将字体文件从控制面板(Control Panel)拖放到字体窗口中。您现在可以在Microsoft Word中使用您的新字体。
在 Word 中使用已安装的字体(Using Your Installed Font In Word)
安装新字体后,您应该可以轻松地选择它来输入您的Word文档。打开Word后,您应该会在屏幕左上角附近看到一个框,显示您当前使用的字体。
单击(Click)此框上的箭头以打开每个可用字体的下拉菜单。您可以滚动列表并找到新安装的字体,也可以在框中键入字体名称以快速调出。
选择后,您现在可以开始使用您的字体输入。新安装的字体与预安装的字体相同,但根据您使用的字体,某些功能可能会受到限制。请务必查看您使用的字体是否有描述,其中可能会列出其中一些限制。例如,有许多字体不允许您使用小写字符,反之亦然。
另外请记住,您是出于商业目的还是个人目的使用该字体。在大多数网站上,都会列出特定字体的预期用途。大多数免费字体实际上是由与网站本身无关的艺术家创建的,并且免费向网站提供他们创建的字体。这意味着除非您为字体付费或获得艺术家的许可,否则它们不能被许可用于商业用途。
如何删除字体(How To Delete a Font)
如果您想删除以前安装的字体以腾出空间,或者您发现自己不喜欢您选择的字体,那么操作也很简单。
- 打开Windows 控制面板(Windows Control Panel),然后转到Appearance & Personalization > Fonts。
- 找到要删除的字体,然后单击一次以突出显示它。
- 在字体上方的栏上,找到并单击删除(Delete )按钮。
- 将弹出一个窗口,询问您是否要永久删除该字体。选择是。(Yes.)
您的字体现在将被删除,并且不再显示在使用它的Word文档中。可以删除任何字体,包括预安装的字体。
How To Add New Fonts To Microsoft Word
If you’re tired of the same default font choices іn Microsoft Word, or want tо really spruce up а documеnt wіth a new font, you should know that it’s possible and easy to add fonts to Microsоft Word.
Using third-party websites such as DaFont or 1001 Free Fonts, you can browse their wide selections and download new and unique fonts for free. If you’d like something more premium, there are also plenty of sites where you can buy more quality-controlled fonts to install and use, like FontShop or FontSpring.
However, you may be lost as to how you go about installing them into Microsoft Word. It’s actually incredibly simple to do. All you need to do is find the font you want to use, then follow the steps below to install it.
Finding a Font to Install
There are thousands of free fonts across the web available to you to add fonts to Microsoft Word, although they will have differing levels of quality.
Also be sure that the websites you are downloading your fonts from are legitimate. It is always possible that the file you are downloading could be unsafe, so be sure to vet the site before you complete any downloads.
Once you find a site, browse the fonts and choose one that fits whatever style you have in mind. As you search, note some of these aspects you should look for:
- Is the font easy to read?
- Will you be able to bold, italicize, or underline it?
- Does the font set include numbers and special characters?
When you have found one you would like to install, there will likely be a download button nearby, and clicking it will save a .zip file of the font to your computer. In this example, I am using the site DaFont. Once downloaded, you can then either click on the file in your browser, or locate it in your file manager.
Installing The Font On Microsoft Word
Now that you have found and downloaded a font set, locate and open the file. Follow these next steps to easily add the font to Microsoft Word.
- In your file manager, click on the .zip file of your downloaded font.
- At the top right, click on Extract All. Choose the location you want the extracted file to be saved to.
- A new window will open containing your extracted files. You can also find the unzipped file in your file manager, wherever you choose to save it. Now, click on the font file. You can use either the Opentype or Truetype file.
- A window will open showing examples of your font. At the top left, click on the Install button.
- If you want to make sure your font has been installed, open the Windows Control Panel and click Appearance & Personalization > Fonts. Search for your font in the search box and make sure it appears.
Additionally, another option to install your font would be to drag and drop the font file into the Fonts window from the Control Panel. You can now use your new font in Microsoft Word.
Using Your Installed Font In Word
With the new font installed, you should easily be able to select it to type into your Word documents. After you open up Word, you should see a box near the top left of the screen showing the font you’re currently using.
Click on the arrow on this box to open a drop-down menu of every font available to use. You can either scroll through the list and find your newly installed font, or type the name of the font into the box to bring it up quickly.
Once selected, you can now begin typing with your font. Newly installed fonts work the same as pre-installed ones, though depending on the font you are using, some functionalities may be limited. Be sure to see if there is a description of the font you’re using that may list some of these limitations. For example, there are many fonts out there that do not allow you to use lower-case characters, or vice-versa.
Also keep in mind whether you are using the font for commercial or personal purposes. On most sites, the intended use for a specific font will be listed. Most free fonts are actually created by artists not associated with the site itself, and are providing their created fonts to the site for free. This means they cannot be licensed to be used by you commercially unless you pay for the font or get permission from the artist.
How To Delete a Font
If you would like to delete a previously installed font to clear up space, or you find that you dislike the font you chose, it is just as simple to accomplish.
- Open up the Windows Control Panel, then go to Appearance & Personalization > Fonts.
- Find the font you want to delete, and click on it once to highlight it.
- On the bar above the fonts, find and click the Delete button.
- A window will pop up asking if you would like to delete the font permanently. Select Yes.
Your font will now be deleted and will no longer show up in Word documents it was used in. Any font can be deleted, including pre-installed ones.
