MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / September 2009Word 2007 - Creating Forms Text Box Format Problem
I've created a text box in a form, input some default text to the desired size. The form works fine, except the new text input by the user is different size (tiny). I've gone to Developer Tab...Legacy Tools..Legacy Forms, Text Form Field. Even if you place the curser in between the default text, the new text is not the same. Any idea's?  SignatureRegards Mike If you are using legacy form fields, unprotect the form, format the formfield(s) as you wish. Then re-protect the form. The default text and any input text will adopt that format.

See if http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828501/en-us ("Incorrect font is applied after a style is applied to a form field in Word 2007 or in Word 2003") helps.

Thank you Graham and Stefan, Unfortunatly its much simpler than that, I had not unchecked the 'Formatting restrictions'...'Limit Formatting ' check box. Thanks again for responding so quickly, I feel somewhat a fool!
