Fonts in templates
I have templates set up with Times New Roman 12. When i pull up these
templates to use, the headings all switch to Courier New 10 pt. I have to go in and manually change the font in every document. Can someone direct me to the correct place to fix this problem? If it is in the normal.dot, how do I change it so that all documents use TNR all the time? Any help you can give will be appreciated. |

How did you change the font in these templates? Did you actually change the
relevant paragraph styles? Also, it would be helpful if you mentioned which version of Word you are using. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Siouxzqmc" wrote: I have templates set up with Times New Roman 12.

The font was not changed; it was the default font in Word 2003. Paragraph
styles were changed, but the template is only a first- and second-page header with no text in the body of the template. Thanx. "Stefan Blom" wrote: How did you change the font in these templates?

Fonts in templates
It is still not clear what is happening. Are you saying that text has a
different font than the corresponding style definition when you create a new document from the template? Is there any direct formatting in the template? You can clear font formatting by selecting text and pressing Ctrl+SpaceBar. Or are you inserting one file into another? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Siouxzqmc" wrote in message ...

The style definition and the default font are the same (TNR). When I go to
type in a heading, the font changes to something besides TNR (usually Courier New). I do a return, and then the text following the heading switches back to TNR. Very strange.

If Word is automatically applying heading styles, you can turn that off by
clearing the "Built-in Heading styles" and "Define styles based on your formatting" options on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of the AutoCorrect dialog box; for more on autoformat, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm. (Note that if you are using Word 2007, you can do this to open the AutoCorrect dialog box: Click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In the Proofing category, click the AutoCorrect Options button.) You should then modify the heading styles to have the desired formatting and apply the appropriate style manually when you need it. To prevent the style from changing when you press Enter, change the setting for "Style for following paragraph" in the Modify Style dialog box for the relevant heading style(s). For more on styles, see this article for Word 2003: About formatting text by using styles http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...CH060830091033 There is a similar one for Word 2007: Style basics in Word http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...CH100970201033 -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Siouxzqmc" wrote in message ...

To add to what Stefan has said:
1. If you apply a heading style to your heading and it is formatted as Courier New, then that's because that heading style has been defined as Courier New. You can modify the style to use some other font; see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html 2. The reason the font reverts to TNR when you press Enter is that the "Style for following paragraph" for all heading styles is Normal. -- Suzanne S.
