font problem
I am trying to get all the text in a document to have the same font.
When I select all of the text in the document the font window goes blank which I guess indicates that there is more than one font being used. How come that when I select all text & choose a font this does not seem to get applied to all of the text? Any suggestions gratefully recieved (Using Office Word 2003) |

font problem
Is it that the font actually isn't applied or just that you don't see that
font name in the Font box when the entire document is selected? As a general rule, when you have selected more than some specific (but undocumented) amount of text, all settings are grayed out or blanked, even if they are the same for all the selected text. -- Suzanne S.

font problem
Hi Suzanne
The problem is that the font isn't being applied. The document has had lots of bits & pieces pasted into it, I suspect it is something to do with the formatting of the original text? "Suzanne S.

No, if you Ctrl+A to select the entire document and apply a font, it should
be applied to everything. You can click in specific portions of text and see a different font name in the font list? -- Suzanne S.
