Protected Date Field in Forms Mode - Strange Behaviour
Word 2003 - Protected (Forms) Mode
We are making extensive use of Forms mode in our organisation with some success. However, we have discovered that in some instances, the following occurs; Date field is inserted with following parameters; Default date - not set Date format - dd MMMM yyyy Max length - unlimited No macros are run "Fill in" and "calculate on exit" enabled Font is set to Arial 11 Form is protected and saved. When a user opens the form and tabs down to the date field, once in the field the font changes to MS Gothic. As a work around, the user must press "Delete" and the font reverts to Arial 11. This does not occur on all PC's and the form is stored in only once instance. The problem is in date fields only. I cannot think where to look.. Any suggestions will be gratefully received and checked out. |

Protected Date Field in Forms Mode - Strange Behaviour
Hi David,
When a user opens the form and tabs down to the date field, once in the field the font changes to MS Gothic. As a work around, the user must press "Delete" and the font reverts to Arial 11. This is a known problem, described in this KB article http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;828501 Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
