OneNote Format text mitch13 10/23/2008 5:23:00 AM Somehow I have managed to format ALL my notes to Arial 11. Is there a global command for format? If not how did I manage this! I want to easily chnane all my formats back the original (Arial 12 or 14). No, backup is not an option - already overwritten! Cheers mitch13

There is setting for the standard font to be used: Tools | Options | Edit This works only for future notes, however. > If not how did I manage this!

Unfortunately there is no global command for replacing fonts. You'll have to do it manually Rainald P.S. The standard font for ON is Calibri. Very wise decision of the developer - ways better for ON usage than Arial (and any other font I tried).

Perhaps you deleted or moved the Calibri font and the OS is using the closest alternative it can find. The two fonts bear a resemblance. I agree with Rainald... the Calibri, to me, is lighter, more graceful than Ariel as body text. It seems to work well on screens. More up-to-date than the Arial, which had its own years as the "modernistic" typographic look in the 80s. Microsoft put it on the map by bundling it with the OS. If you are interested in fonts, Arial's history is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial_font Jonathan

Not the 80' me thinks ;-) Actually "Arial" - although there are differences as shown in the valuable article in Wikipedia - more or less is a Helvetica. And that's one of the "Swiss" font families. And their great days were the late *sixties*. It was a typical font the stylish layouts for brochures with a lot of space left free. Honestly speaking, I did never understand how an why this kind of Sans Serif font was introduced for "mass" text. It simply does not fit for that ... Rainald

It's a non-proportional font (which is a little easier on my aging eyes), and it has the advantage of having the little slashes through the zeroes. It's not something that comes with Windows or Office, but if you search for "consolas font" you'll probably find it. I don't remember where I got it or when, but I've been using it for a long time. //Steve// Steve Silverwood, KB6OJS Email: kb6ojs[ at ]arrl.net Web: http://kb6ojs.com

Yes, Consolas is a nice non-ps font and it's one the best choices for programming For OneNote I prefer a ps-font and especially Calibri. For writing and reading mails and news, I prefer a non-ps font, however. For a long time for this as well as for programming my favorite has been "Letter Gothic 12". It's main advantage is that it runs with 10CPI (instead of the normal 10CPI) and by this the lines are shorter. You may have a look a sheet with screenshots of a number of fonts, incl.
