On most versions of Word you can find the menu item to shut it off in Tools:Customize then you should see a checkbox for 'WYSIWYG Font Menus' uncheck this. You maybe have to restart the application.

I only checked this in Word:Mac I have Office2010beta running on Windows.

The issue may also be with the barcode fonts not identifying themselves properly as symbol fonts.

Si:
MS Office Mac (including Word) seems to place font names on its list in some non-standard way. Many fonts appear way down where the foreign scripts appear. I don't know who is at fault here. I am just saying that the Microsoft Apps are the only ones that have this anomaly. All the Adobe and Apple apps (and all others I have seen) look correct.
I am using Mac Office version 2008.

Thanks, we're aware of this, have been passing on reports to the MacBU from time to time.

My guess was for Windows versions of Office, and I could be totally wrong for all I know. It could have a hard coded list of symbol fonts (Wingdings, Webdings etc.) and not be identifying them based on font properties.

I'm not sure if what you want is here, but you find Tools by going to the Windows thingy in the top left (where you go for Print or Save As). At the bottom of that is a button for Word Options (next to Exit Word). There is a customize option in there, which may have what you want.

No, I'm not a Word expert. (I hate Word 2007). But I had to use help this afternoon to find the options on Excel, and just looked and see it is the same in Word.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Si!
