Help with embedding Type1 OTF Fonts in Word 2007/2010 docs

Hi,

I purchased a few Adobe OpenType Pro fonts including Myriad Pro and Garamond Pro. I want to use those fonts in Word 2007 and/or 2010 .docx type documents. It works fine while I work on my PC which has the fonts installed. Word recognizes the fonts and I can use them, in the 2010 version even with some OpenType features like ligatures, medieval numerals, etc. However, I have tremendous difficulties embedding those fonts so recipients can actually read and/or edit my documents.

Exporting the fiels into PDF also skips embedding the fonts (at least as long as I use Microsofts PDF Export).

Can someone please tell me:

1) Is embedding of OpenType fonts in Word 2007 or 2010 possible at all?

2) If not, can I trade in the fonts for the corresponding TrueType versions?

3) If that is not possible, is there a way to convert the fonts into TrueType without losing too much of the font quality?

Thank you all for your kind support.
