BTW for our Word DOC reports, setting EmbedTrueTypeFonts to true and the property &quot;Do not embed common system fonts&quot; to true results in reducing the Word file size from &gt;800kB to ~230kB.<br />
That's a big improvement. Just switching off EmbedTrueTypeFonts to false helps too (~250kB) but I would like to know if the property &quot;Do not embed common system fonts&quot; be accessed programmitcally.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

If truth be known, I had never seen those settings. So I followed your directions while recording a macro (Tools...Macro...Record menu item). I then found the two statements that were doing something in the resulting code and placed them in a separate sub. After testing, I then posted my Comment. That's a lesson well worth knowing.<br />

Thanks for the grade!<br />

Hi guys,<br />
<br />
How do you set the property &quot;Do not embed common system fonts&quot; to true using VBA? This option can be found under EmbedTrueTypeFonts property in Word (Tools&gt;&gt;Options&gt;&gt;Save tab). Could it be not possible at all programmitically? I have looked around and not found a definite answer.<br />

How to set the &quot;Do not embed common system fonts&quot; property in Word object?

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.
