I don't write this to challenge George's advice about fonts, merely
that I just opened Word 2000, which I am virtually sure Mr. Beasley is
using, and changed to 12 point, and hit the default button.  I was
asked via a confirmation dialogue if I wanted this size font for all
docs, and ansered 'Yes'.  Of course Word was using normal.dot which I
think is the default template for Word.

On opening Word 2k again, the font was still at 12 point.  There have
been times though I've deleted normal.dot as it got corrupted on my
old computer.  It seems if you do this, Word rebuilds the default
template.

Anyway, hope Peter gets it sorted.  The readers of the talking
newspaper were finding the font size a bit hard going last week!

Cheers,

From Ray

Peter,

If you wish to do that, you will need to open the normal.dot
TEMPLATE.

Go to File, Open, and in Files of type, select Templates.
Find the normal.dot file, and make the changes you wish,
then make sure you save the file as a Template (.dot) and
not a .doc file.

George.

Peter,

You may like to select all of the document to start with, to
ensure that
every part of it is the same size, then format various parts
as you need
them.

It's easy to get font sizes mixed up, especially if you have
chosen
different sizes for different parts of the document one (or
have
inadvertently made) more than one in the document.
