Question

in order to check some word documents for consistent formatting, I would love to get a list of all the different fonts that are used / applied to a certain document. I couldn’t find an option for this in the GUI, but could this be done programmatically with VBA? I don’t have any VBA experience, but some pseudo code like this should work, right?

all_fonts = []
for paragraph in all_paragraphs
    for each word in paragraph
       if word.style not in all_fonts
           all_fonts.append(word.style)


print all_fonts

Answer 1

Yes: there’s an implementation of reading all fonts from a document here which follows that pattern.
