Years ago (can't remember which version) MicroSoft Word had a macro that you
could run that would give samples of all the fonts on your computer. Does
such a capability exist now?

The macro you remember, Font Sample Generator, is in the macros9.dot template
that you can download from http://www.word.mvps.org/Downloads/Macros9.zip.
Another macro, at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/FontSampleGenerator.htm, is better if
you have Word 2003. There are lots of others on the Web -- ask Google.
