Problems with Font when defining heading styles. (Word 2003)
I am trying to define a template for our company's reports using Word 2003
(Windows XP Professional SP2). I am currently stuck trying to define heading styles in the template. Following the advise in many tutorials, I have based the Heading 1 style on "no style" and I have made the styles cascade (Heading 2 based on Heading 1, etc.). The cascading works correctly for every setting except the font face. All of the headings were originally hardcoded to use Arial, and I cannot seem to clear this setting. Thus, when I change the Font Face or style of Heading 1, all of the changes propogate, except the lower headings always stay Arial. I can change their fonts explicitly, but the fonts will not inherit. When I am modifying the settings for any of the headings, there doesn't seem to be a way to clear the font setting so that it inherits the font from the "based on" style. I am always presented with a dropdown box, and have to explicitly choose a specific font. It seems like the other settings can be cleared, and then they start being inherited. Not the font face. For other styles, I have been able to overcome setting an explicit font by deleting the style and starting over. A new style starts with no font face set, the dropdown box is blank, and the font face is inherited. As soon as I set a font face, however, I cannot figure out how to undo it. Since I cannot delete the heading styles, I don't know how to clear their font face setting. So far I have found nothing online that discusses this problem. Thanks for your time, Erich Wolodzko |
