Hi,
when executing an insertfile action increases the font of the inserted
document. How do I keep the original fontsize of the document being inserted?

Hi nz,

If the style name used in the source document exists in the target document,
the inserted material will take on the attributes of the style definition in
the target document. So, if your source uses the Normal style, at 10pt, but
the target has the same style at 12pt, you end up with 12pt when the source
document is inserted into the target document. If you need to keep the font
at 10pt, you'll either have to change the style definition in the target
document, or use a different style in the source document.

Cheers

See the IncludeText tutorial at
http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm#Tutorials. Your problem has to do
with the use of common styles with different definitions.
