Embed Fonts Into a .doc file in AOO

Post by Merlin24 »

HELP! (Again)

I need to "embed" my fonts into a .doc file created in AOO for uploading to Amazon/Kindle. If they are not embedded, they (Kindle) will not use them.

Can anyone help?

Thanks so much,

Not sure about .doc but will they accept .pdf? If they will you can export from AOO to pdf and pdf will allow what they call standard fonts to be embedded.

I guess I should note, I have no software to convert or save to a .pdf

OpenOffice /File /Export as PDF will generate a PDF file. Select PDF/A-1a to embed the fonts used.

You cannot embed fonts in a .doc file.

See [Tutorial] Differences between Writer and MS Word files for why you should always work in and save files as .odt.

In AOO go File > Export as PDF ..., or click the PDF icon to create a PDF file.
