Format/font shows different font than that in use
I am using Microsoft Word 2003 under Windows XP Home and in my Word
documents I use the Times New Roman font most of the time. My default font is Times New Roman, 12 points. Recently I have noticed that if I highlight some text and select format font to change some attribute of the font, it shows the font as "Times" instead of Times New Roman. If I then simply proceed to change the attribute I wanted (e.g. select small caps), then the font of that text changes as well to Times. So to avoid this, when I go into format font I have to reselect the font as being Times New Roman (which is of course what it was anyway) and then change the attribute I wanted. I tested by selecting some text which was in the Arial font. Doing format font showed Helvetica instead of Arial. I wonder if this could be related to the fact that in the past I have opened some old WordPerfect documents, for conversion to Word, which used the fonts Times and Helvetica. But it is happening in all documents, including those which have always been in Word and any new onew that I create. Zahid Aziz |
