Default Word07 Legacy text field font setting or style

In Developer, Design Mode, add a text field & set the font. Continue
creating form, then go back to roiginal text field to change the font again
and no matter what font is selected the font window just blanks out.

Thanks for the info but it still doesn't work. I format the paragraph,
insert the form fields, go into each field to set the properties to designate
bookmarks and when you click OK the prior field loses the font selection.
The font selection is blank and if you try to reselect the font it won't
accept anything - it stays blank.

I can't reproduce this. If you apply a style to a field it remains applied
whatever you do to subsequent fields. Provided the form is unlocked the font
tools remain active.
