Suddently missing font - HELP

For the layout of a magazine, I regularly use "Arial Narrow" (regular, italic and bold).
Now, however, InDesign doesn't recognize that the font exists. Neither do the other Adobe applications. When I go to Type>Find Font..., Arial Narrow isn't even listed. I can select "narrow" for the normal Arial. But it doesn't look quite the same and can't turn italic or bold.
I have tried to reinstall Adobe CS3 and the fonts - but nothing seems to work, which is why I desperately ask:
Does anyone have an idea how to make InDesign recognize "Arial Narrow"?

Do you have the latest Microsoft Office 2007 installed on your computer?
In their infinite wisdom, M$ installs with Office 2007 a new version of Ariel Narrow with modified headers that Adobe applications do not recognize...
What I did was find that font group on a computer that did not have Office 2007 applications and copied it to the InDesign Fonts folder which, on a windows machine is located at:
C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe InDesign CS3Fonts
Now I once again have Ariel Narrow available in InDesign (I think certain other typefaces are similarly affected)
