I think "susan" is probably me, but I haven't a clue, either, which is why I
haven't responded.

Hi Wally

I guess you haven't got an answer because no-one knows the answer and
can't
replicate the problem. My only guess is to make sure that the languages
for
Windows, Office and Word are all lined up to the same language.

If I assume that someone called Wally W. is from Australia, then (a) you
shouldn't be working; you should be cheering on the swimmers in Melbourne
and (b) you need to set up Windows, Office and Word to use Australian
English. See http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm for
details. When Word recognizes mis-spellings of Parramatta and Maribyrnong
and offers the correct spellings, you know you've got it right.

Who's susan?

Hope this helps.

Oh illustrious microsoft helpers readers and other computer folk

How's that for a bit of grovelling.

Nobody has answered my question and I am desperate for an answer:

When I highlight a piece of text and then look to change the font
through
the path: formatfont, the preview panel just says "sample" and not a
piece
of the highlighted text, I'm sure this used to give part of the
highlight
as
a sample, as I am trying to find a particular number font, "sample" does
not
help a great deal. What's happened and how can I preview the numbers in
the
various font.

Oh where are you susan when I need you

Many many thanks in advnace
