Those fonts are bitmapped, and only come defined in a couple of sizes. (Notice how you can't influence the size of the font in Notepad?) They are, in addition, only screen fonts, which means that you can't send them to a printer. These attributes make them useless for any of the MSOffice programs. If you want a truetype substitute for fixedsys, you'll probably find Andale as good as it gets.
Sounds like what you want is to use a Bitmap Font and that you are not able to find one. It is true, you cannot use Fixedsys and System fonts in any art or design.
You can get a family of killer bitmap-style fonts at:

But unless another person has this installed, only you will see it. But then again, if you use it in artwork and rasterize it, or outline it, it will be good for all.
happy fonting.

I came here looking for an answer to a similar problem. I MUST use fixedsys as I am trying to duplicate something where it was used. The best solution would be a truetype equivalent of the fixedsys font; unfortunately I haven't been able to find one. I am considering building such a font, but it is a tedious process and I really haven't that much time for this project. I have developed a workaround, and I will share it:
1. type the necessary text into Notepad
2. do ALT-PrtScn to copy the Notepad window to the clipboard
3. paste the clipboard into a graphic image (I used PicturePublisher to do this, but most graphics editors should work for this
4. save the graphic image (bmp or whatever); you may want to crop down to a line, phrase, or word at a time so that you can manipulate individual items as separate files
5. pull the file(s) into your Office application as pictures and use them accordingly
Needless to say, this is a convoluted and tedious solution to the problem, but I have yet to find a better one. Unless someone has created a TrueType version of this ugly font...
