I think you're still not understanding that the Default Paragraph Font is
just the font of the underlying style; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/DefParaFont.htm. If you want the
page number to be something other than the DPF, you'll need to define the
font explicitly.

Yes, that is a bummer in that the header and footer style needs to stay at
arial 12 pt which is the default paragraph font. Please consider though,
that is based on the fact that I changed the normal style to arial 12 pt.
Am
I changing the wrong style? If so, where is the default paragraph font
located for me to change it? I don't think I would want to do that anyway
as
wouldn't that change every style that is based on the default paragraph
font?
Do you think 2007 made this a bit more harder than before? I think I will
have to change each and every b uidling block because I need for the
footer
to stay arial 12 pt for text and arial 10 pt for just the page numbering.
That worked on the one that I tested it on but I just wanted to avoid
having
to change each building block. What a hassle! If you have any other
ideas
(you have a lot of great ones!), I am open.
Thanks so much!

The Page Number character style is defined by default as "Default
Paragraph
Font +"; that is, it just picks up the underlying font of the paragraph.
So
you would need to modify the Header/Footer style, and this would vary
depending on the given building block, I would guess.

I have changed the page number style and when I insert the page number
(it
is
a building block now) it comes in as the old font. The building blocks
are
what folks use now to insert their page numbers. Wouldn't you think
that
it
would take the new style font even though the buidling blocks were
created
prior to changing the font? I changed one of the building blocks and
redifined it and it worked that way but I don't want to have to change
every
Page number building block.

I want to change JUST the page numbering style like I could in 2003.
I
would
like to avoid having to change each and every page number building
block.
I
don't want to change the footer style as I want any other text to go
in
as
12
pt. There must be an easier way to do this than to change all page
number
buidling blocks, right?
Any help is greatly appreciated
