Can someone tell me the exact font used in headline in this PDF. (made
from a Word Document). The actual font shown is actually a gif image
taken from their website. The article is about a First cousin on Dad's
Side. I would love to get the Real Font. Just in that type and weight.

click on the last link about ... Drivers WWII...

Hi Phillip:

That's a Windows font: Old English Text MT, by Monotype Corporation and
Type Solutions. It's a Microsoft font supplied with all versions of
Windows since 1990.

Cheers

Hello Phillip,

Just for your reference, there's a handy tool at
http://www.identifont.com/ that you can use to identify unknown
fonts by answering a series of simple questions about the
font's appearance. I've used it many times and find it to be
quite useful :-D
