Hi!
Thank you for your answer. Hmm the work arounds means that I have to write instruction to the table and risk that some within the organisation doesnät read the instructions. We are making a new graphical profile and would like to use templats that are easy to use. I have defined special styles for table elements but it is hard to get everyone to use them. I can't base table formatting on enything else then Normal, they all fall back on Table Normal and you can't change that one. I can't make a new style to use for "normal text" because I know that it will be impossible to learn everyone that they shall not use Normal for body text. They are so used to use the predefined styles. I find it very strange that MS hasn't fixed this bug or mentioned in the KB. Does anyone know if it is fixed in Office XP? /Bea "Margaret Aldis" wrote in message ... Yes, this is an accurate description of a known problem. I can't imagine why it was designed like this but that's the way it works. Most people workaround by setting up separate styles for text in Tables, and ignore the font settings in the table style. Another approach is to leave the Normal style at the default, and don't base other styles on it. (Define ordinary text styles from a different base style to set to the document font.) You can then use 'Clear Formatting' on the text within the table to make it take up the font(s) determined by the table style. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org |
