SUMMARY
=======

When using Aldus PageMaker version 4.0 with Microsoft Windows operating system
version 3.1 with many fonts installed (TrueType and/or others), the PageMaker
font menu extends past the end of the screen. To access any of the installed
fonts, choose Type, Type Specs, and search the Fonts box.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Aldus PageMaker 4.0 and other Windows 3.0 applications put the available fonts
in a menu for faster access. Under Windows 3.1, the number of available fonts is
greatly increased and sometimes causes the menu to be too large for the screen.
In Aldus PageMaker 4.0, you can access any of the installed fonts by choosing
Type, Type Specs, and then searching in the "Fonts" box for the font desired.
Most applications with fonts in a menu have similar workarounds.
