NEW TIMES NEW ROMAN The following instructions will lead you through the process of saving and

installing the Times New Roman font that has been provided by your editor. I. Delete the old TNR font set. In order to install the new Times New Roman (TNR) font, you will first need to delete the older version of TNR already on your computer. Follow the path described in Part III of these instructions (Install the TNR Font) until you locate your fonts. In the list view, highlight the complete TNR set, which is in four parts (sometimes called the font suitcases): Times New Roman, Times New Roman bold, Times New Roman italic, and Times New Roman italic bold. Delete. II. Save the New TNR Font Once you have deleted the old TNR font set, you will need to save in its place (in the same location on your computer) the new set provided by your editor. The font set comes in the form of four files. Each of the files contains a part of the entire font set, so you need to save all of them. III. Install the New TNR Font Now that youve saved the new TNR font set, you need to install it. Once you have done so, you will not need to do so again. For Windows 2000 and newer computers: Close all Windows applications. Launch the Start menu, select Settings, and open the Control Panel (if you are an XP/Vista user, you need not open the Settings directory). In the Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, or, if you are using Microsoft Windows 2000 or have the Control Panel in Classic View, double-click Fonts and proceed to step four. Under See Also in the task pane, click Fonts. If your computer presents you with a folder tree and not a task pane, then select Folders on the toolbar. Under the See Also category, click Fonts. In the File Menu, select Install New Font. In the list of drives, select the drive where you have saved the new version of the font (see II above). In the Folders list, double-click the folder containing the font files you would like to install. Highlight all the font files you would like to add and then click on the OK button. (If you wish to install multiple fonts, hold down the CTRL key and select the fonts you want to install.)

IV. Inserting nonstandard characters/diacritics Once you have the new TNR font, you can insert a nonstandard character by doing the following: For PCs: 1. Click on the spot where the character should be inserted in the Word doc. 2. Click on Insert, Symbol. 3. In the Font drop-down box, find and click on Times New Roman. Once your symbols chart has the correct font, you can click on the letter/symbol you want and click Insert. The character will appear at the position youve indicated in the document. For Macs, even a newer version, you have to use the Character Palette to insert nonstandard characters like macrons. To access the Character Palette: 1. Go to System Preferences (click on Apple at top left or System Preferences icon on he dock). 2. Click on International (blue flag icon). 3. Click on Input Menu tab. 4. Make sure Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer are checked. 5. Close System Preferences. If you already know how to install (or load) a font on your computer, go ahead and install it as usual. But if you have read the installation instructions and still cannot load it, let your editor know.
