Problems with Font on Footnote Reference
I have a user who is unable to change the default font on the footnote
reference to superscript. Usually I would tell them to highlight a footnote reference and hit Shift+Ctrl+S. This brings up the "Apply Styles" box. Making sure that "Footnote Reference" is selected, hit the "Modify" button. On the "Modify Style" window, hit "Format", then click on "Font". Then, click on "SuperScript" and hit the "Default" button. This has always worked in the past, but now the "Default" button is greyed out. I talked with the network admin and he says that he has not applied any policies that would cause this. Does anyone have any clue why this would happen? Thanks! |

Problems with Font on Footnote Reference
The Default button only works if you are using the Font dialog box to change
the defaults of the Normal style of the attaached template. In this case, you should choose the "New documents based on this template" in the Modify Style dialog box to copy the modified Footnote Reference style to the template. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "The Wes" wrote in message ...

Problems with Font on Footnote Reference
Okay...That works..but I would like to have a better understanding of all of
this...What is the functional difference between hitting the "Default" button and hitting "New Documents based on this Template"? Are they both not just modifying the default template?

Well, the dialog box states that it is about to change the "defaults font,"

Problems with Font on Footnote Reference
Surely we're talking about Word 2007 here, though, given the reference to
"New Documents based on this Template" as opposed to "Add to template"? In previous versions, changing the font of the Normal style amounts to the same thing since most styles are based on it. -- Suzanne S.

Problems with Font on Footnote Reference
Yes, we are talking about Word 2007. I'm just saying that changing document
defaults and changing the Normal style (which is what the Default button does in the Font dialog box) are two different things. A simple experiment confirms this fact: If you set a new default *size* in the Font dialog box, that won't be reflected on the Set Defaults tab of the Manage Styles dialog box. I have to admit I don't have a full understanding of the implications (if any) of the difference, though. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Problems with Font on Footnote Reference
I have to take back what I just wrote... I'm confused today, apparently. :-)
Changing (say) the default font size via the Font dialog box *does* affect the setting in the Manage Styles dialog box, but the reverse isn't true: changing the defaults in the Manage Styles does *not* affect the Normal style. So I guess the words in the Font dialog box makes sense, after all? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Yes, we are talking about Word 2007.

Problems with Font on Footnote Reference
What I was surprised to find is that the Set Defaults dialog doesn't include
language, so if clicking Default... in the Set Language dialog doesn't "take," there's not much recourse. You can explicitly change the language of the Normal style, but this really shouldn't be necessary. -- Suzanne S.
