What you have described is actually one of Word's nicer features: You can
select which fonts will appear in the font menu and which ones will not.
Do this: under one of those pull down menus is a selection titled 
"Character..". Select that. A dialog box will appear, showing all options
available to you (italics, strikethru, etc) as well as all fonts installed
in the system folder, even the ones that do not appear in Word's regular
pull-down font menu. To make one of these fonts appear in the pull-down 
menu (where it's a lot more convenient), press the Command-option-shift
and + keys simultaneously. The cursor should change to a "+". Now select
one of the fonts shown in the "Character" dialog box. The menu bar will
respond by flashing. Now put away that "Character" dialog box, and pull
down your font menu. Your new font should appear. You can add as many new
fonts as you like, in the same manner, also. You can also make some of the
style options, like strikethru, double underline, etc, available in the
pull down menus too. Same trick. You can also remove unwanted options
from the pull-down menus: Press command-option-shift and "-", and your 
cursor should change to a "-". Now pull down the menu and select the
item you wish to remove. The menu bar should flash once again, and 
the unwanted item will be gone. (still available in one of the dialog
boxes, where it's out of your way) All of these settings are kept in a
separate file called "Word Settings", which will usually appear in
your system folder. If you want to completely undo your customizing,
just trash this file.
