Another complication arises if your style is a table style:
Then you can't set the size to 10 pt, because Word bases the table style = on the Normal paragraph style, and it falsely thinks that Normal already = is 10 pt (as it was in old versions). The work-around would be to change Normal to 10 pt, then you can set the = table style to 10 pt. Regards, Klaus "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: If you created a style based on Normal (assuming that TNR 12 is the = DPF of Normal in your version of Word), then the style description should = include both the font and the font size. If it doesn't include the font size, = then you cannot expect to see that size applied. In the Modify Style = dialog, change the font size again explicitly and save the style. I can't give = more definitive instructions since you don't mention what version of Word = you have, but if it's Word 2002 or 2003, see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html =20 --=20 Suzanne S.

Barnhill" wrote in message ... In the text to which you are applying the style, is the 12-point = type the default paragraph font, or has the 12-point size been applied as = direct formatting? Also, does the description of your style specify the = point size? And is it a paragraph style or a character style? --=20 Suzanne S.
