    Go to Start->Control Panel->Fonts and then click File->Install New Font. Select the location, click the font you wish to install and then OK (hold down CTRL if its more than one font)

    Restart MS Word and they should be in the font list then.

    Thank you for this, but I'm a little confused. These are the fonts that I already have in my Word programme. I want to import unusual fonts from elsewhere.

    Windows manages fonts globally, and gives every programme access to them.

    A simple Google search for "free fonts" will get you hundreds of fonts. Then simply import them as mentioned above.
