MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / September 2006Word XP subscript/superscript font effect
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 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?  SignatureSuzanne S.

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? SignatureSuzanne S.

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? SignatureSuzanne S.

I don't see why it would be reflected in Word's report of what font was in use. Very odd. SignatureSuzanne S.
