Problem
If I associate a font group with an application or a document, how do I get the associated application or document to open and use the fonts in the font group?

Solution
To open an application or document associated with a font group, you must create a shortcut for the font group. When you run the shortcut for the font group, the associated document or application opens.

To make a shortcut:

1. Click the font group that is associated with your document or application.
2. Choose View > Properties.
3. On the General tab, in the Association box, you can choose a document or application to associate with the font group. Click the Browse button to select an association.
4. Click the Shortcut tab.
5. Select the Create a shortcut for this group check box.
6. In the Shortcut Location section, choose a location to save the shortcut.
   • Program Group. Select this option to add the shortcut to an existing program group on the Start menu. Click the Browse button to select the program group.
   • Add to th Desktop. Select this option to save the shortcut to the Desktop.
   • Add to the Start Menu. Select this option to add the shortcut to the top of the Start menu.
7. Choose whether to display a confirmation dialog. The confirmation dialog asks whether you want to add the fonts in the group to the installed fonts, or whether you want to replace the installed fonts with the fonts in the group. If you decide not to have a confirmation dialog, choose the action you want for the font group.
8. When you are finished setting shortcut options, click OK.

To open the associated application or document:

• Double-click, open, or run the shortcut you just created from the location where you saved it.
