How can I uninstall fonts from the drop down menu in this program? There are
too many to choose from and I don't use most of them... hate looking through
the list each time I want to change fonts.

If they're fonts you're never going to use anyway, you Delete them
from the Fonts folder in Start > Control Panel. (But if they weren't
stored somewhere else in your computer and installed from there, you
should move them to a storage folder instead, so that when you do want
them back, you can Install them again.)

In Word2007, recently used fonts appear in a group at the top of the
font dropdown, just below the ones in the current Theme. (Didn't they
also go to the top in earlier versions?)

Word will show all the currently installed fonts that the active printer is
capable of printing. If you want to display only subsets of the available
fonts, you should install font management software.

If you create/edit a number of personal styles to format your documents with
the fonts you require, you need never look at the fonts list.
