How to Install New Fonts to Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word comes with a pre-installed list of many different fonts. However, if you want to use something fresh or you're just looking for an original font, all you need to do is to install a new font to your Windows operating system. The new fonts will be transferred to Microsoft Word automatically.
