Ingrid,

Select File > Preferences... and deselect Remember Missing Font Names.

Reapply all Paragraph Tags, ensuring that the do not include these 
unavailable fonts.

Save the document. They will not reappear.

If you want to get these fonts, which are TrueType, you can download 
them from Microsoft, or install Microsoft Word  98. They will be 
installed for you.
