Re: Word macro font size

Neal, are you by chance changing fonts/point size *after* you open new
documents instead of using templates where the *default* font is
already set? If you just switch to a different font when you first
open a document, then copy text to create something like an AutoText
entry (or certain expander entries), the entry is always going to
expand in the font you switched to. If you create the entry in the
*default* font of the document, the entry will expand in other
documents in the correct font/point size.

So, if your template *default* style is set to TNR 12 and you create
your entry in that style, when you open documents from a template set
in Arial 10, the entry will expand in Arial 10. The whole point of
using templates (.dot files) is so this kind of format change is
automated for you.
