Word XP subscript/superscript font effect
how can I set Word XP so that subscript or superscript uses the CURRENT font?
for example, at the moment if i use Arial and want to subscript some text, the default font for the subscript is Helvetica. each time I have to change the font back to Arial. I'd much prefer the default to use the same font, execpt for odd occasions when I do want to change it. thanks john |

Word XP subscript/superscript font effect
The default *is* to use the same font, so you must have some macro in force
to change the font. How are you applying the subscript/superscript format? Using the keyboard shortcuts? Does the same thing happen if you use the Format | Font dialog? -- Suzanne S.

thanks for that. the effect occurs if we use Format | Font but not if we use Ctrl+= or Ctrl++ shortcut. if it's a macro, it must be one which is installed centrally, since all our users seem to be similarly afflicted, but i can certainly investigate that. john "Suzanne S.

Word XP subscript/superscript font effect
Well, that's even more bizarre, as I would expect it to be the other way
around. When you use Format | Font, do you ensure that Arial is selected in the Font dialog? Or is it coming up with Helvetica in the dialog? -- Suzanne S.

the selected font is in Arial ... Format | Font opens Font dialog box with Helvetica in the Font box and highlighted in the list of fonts "Suzanne S.

Word XP subscript/superscript font effect
Curiouser and curiouser... Is this effect document-specific, or does it
occur in all documents? What is the default font in Word? What printer do you have selected? -- Suzanne S.
