Thanks for the explanation. The problem I got is, that openoffice displays the name of the 'not installed font' of my word document, which seems to be an own font of my company; at least I can see the company name in front of 'News Ghotic' in the font drop down menu. Because of that, I thought I can extract it somehow from the document... > > Have you tried running the font installer macro?

Probably, I should take a look at the vmware-windows system, where I produced the document.. does anybody know where? Greetings!
