RE: How can I use MS sans serif in Word?

I forget the details, but Arial isn't an exact equivalent for MS Sans Serif,
is it?

Open the Character settings dialog box as you would to select any other 
font, but type "MS Sans Serif" in the font name field instead of 
selecting a font from the list.

As an alternative, you can define a style (say, called MSSans) that uses 
the MS Sans Serif font, using the same technique of entering the name 
instead of selecting it. The advantage to using a style is you won't have 
to keep typing the name in the Character Settings dialog box.

No comment on the idiocy of the Word developers' decision to require this 
workaround, which has been needed since Word for Windows first shipped.

Hope this helps,
