Embed the font if you want to share the document. New font settings help documents display and print correctly on your computer. But if you share the document with others, they won’t be able to see the font unless they also install it. You can work around this problem by embedding the font file in the Word document. Once the font is embedded in the document, anyone who opens the document can see the correct font of your choice. The file size will increase because the document contains the font . [1]

  • Click the File menu in Word and select “Options”.
  • Click the “Save” tab in the Options menu.
  • Click on the option “Embed fonts in this file”. Remember to select the current document in the drop-down menu.
  • Decide if you want to embed the characters you use separately. You can reduce the file size, especially if you only use a few characters from that special font.
  • Save and share documents as usual. The font will be embedded automatically when saving the document.

    Create PDF files if need to embed fonts. Word on Mac does not allow you to embed fonts in Word documents like the Windows version. If you need to share a document with others and want to keep the special font you just added, you need to save the document as a PDF. So other people can’t edit your document and also keep the custom fonts.

    • In the Save As menu, choose to save the file as a PDF.
