Fonts supported in Work2Go

There are a number of fonts supported in Work2Go.
You see them all at the Preferences tab> E-mail: Write message.

When you want to use special fonts, it is important to remember that if the recipient does not have the same font on their computer, they may read the text of one of the fonts available on their computer instead. If you want to use a more unusual font we recommend that you make it into a PDF instead.

What is cookies?

A cookie is a small file which a website creates and puts on your computer. Cookies are normally just a helpful and safe file. When you visit a website that uses cookies, it sends out a question to your browser to see if the cookie is already saved. Next time you visit the site (if you chose to save cookies of course), your browser will send back the cookies that belongs to that site. Cookies inform the website who you are and in return it displays information that is appropriate for you. Cookies store information that identifies you. Information such as your name and email address. A website has only access to the information you provide. For example, a website can never know your email address unless you provide it. A website may never have access to other information on your computer than what you have specified yourself.
