Word XP subscript/superscript font effect john of york 07.09.2006 08:40:01 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

Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 07.09.2006 13:30:27 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.

Re: Word XP subscript/superscript font effect john of york 07.09.2006 13:56:02 suzanne 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.

Re: Word XP subscript/superscript font effect "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 07.09.2006 15:22:26 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.

Re: Word XP subscript/superscript font effect "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 07.09.2006 16:24:14 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.

Re: Word XP subscript/superscript font effect john of york 08.09.2006 15:38:02 we can do this with both new and existing documents ... printers: our default network printers are Lexmark T series(in variety) have just checked my default one (T644 PS3) and under Fonts, it has Helvetica as the substitute printer font for TrueType font Arial my colleague who first spotted this is using T630 PS3, and the same is true. so think we've got to why it's happening. thanks for your help john

Re: Word XP subscript/superscript font effect "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 08.09.2006 16:05:17 The font substitution should affect only printing, however. I don't see why it would be reflected in Word's report of what font was in use. Very odd. -- Suzanne S.
