Although Office comes with a number of fonts, sometimes you may need to add new styles to make text stand out on your project. However, none of the apps, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Outlook, have an option to install new fonts.

If you have to install a new style or an entire font family, you must first download and install the font files (TrueType '.ttf' or OpenType '.otf') on Windows 10 to make them available to all your apps using an Office 365 subscription, the standalone version of Office 2019, Office 2016, or an older version.

In this Windows 10 guide, we walk you through the steps to install (and uninstall) new font styles for Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, and the other Office apps.

  5. Select the font family that you want to use with your Office apps.

  6. Click the Get button.

Once you complete these steps, the new font will be available in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and any other app that includes support for system fonts.

Mauro recommends all these affordable accessories

Hi, I'm Mauro Huculak, Windows Central's help and how-to guru. I wrote the post you're reading now, and I know the Windows OS inside and out. But I'm also a bit of a hardware geek. These are some of the affordable gadgets on my desk today.

Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse($72 at Amazon)

I know mice, and this is the one I use every day. The MX Master is a wireless high-precision mouse that's very comfortable to use and has many great features, including the ability to connect with multiple devices, an infinite scroll wheel, back and forward buttons, all of which you can customize.

Ktrio Extended Gaming Mouse Pad($12 at Amazon)

If you spend a lot of time typing, your palms and mouse will leave tracks on your desk. My solution was to start using gaming mouse pads, which are big enough for you to use the keyboard and the mouse comfortably. This is the one I use and recommend.

Supernight LED light strip($20 at Amazon)

You could just use a regular light bulb in your office, but if you want to add some ambient lighting with different colors, an RGB LED strip is the way to go. This one is Mauro-approved.
