Autotext Fonts keep changing
Using Word 2000 SP3 - when we insert autotext it occasionally corrupts the
font Ie. instead of using the Book Antiqua font we used when creating the Autotext it changes to Times New Roman , even thought the document default font is Book Antiqua 14pt. Italic When the Autotext does get corrupted we fix it, then go back into Autotext and delete the old entry and then recreate it with the text we've just chosen. I also tried to write protect normal.dot after making those corrections and restricting the users rights to read only. No such luck, it still corrupts. |

Check the font selected in the style that applies to the apparently
corrupted paragraphs. If the autotext was recorded using one style and the paragraph into which it's inserted has another style, this could be the problem. "kd1s" wrote in message ...

If the AutoText contains one or more paragraph marks, it will carry
paragraph style information into the target document in much the same way as text that has been copied and pasted. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
