OFF97: Dialog Boxes and UserForms Use Tahoma Font (157553)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office 97 for Windows
- Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
- Microsoft Access 97
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q157553 SYMPTOMS
In the programs included in Microsoft Office 97, custom dialog boxes and
dialog sheets that you created in earlier programs do not use the MS Sans
Serif or Arial fonts. Custom dialog boxes and dialog sheets use the Tahoma
font in the programs included in Microsoft Office 97. This behavior may
cause very slight spacing differences to appear in text in custom dialog
boxes and dialog sheets.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Standard Dialog Manager, which is included
with the programs included in Microsoft Office 97, uses the Tahoma font.
MORE INFORMATION
Dialog boxes and UserForms in Microsoft Office 97 for Windows are displayed
using the new Tahoma font. This font is designed to be clearer and easier
to read than the MS Sans Serif and Arial fonts used by earlier versions of
Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Access, and Microsoft
PowerPoint.
Because the Tahoma font uses slightly smaller "metrics" than the MS Sans
Serif and Arial fonts, you may notice that text within custom dialog boxes
and dialog sheets is spaced differently when you view it in the programs
included in Microsoft Office 97 than when you view it in earlier versions
of the programs. Note that text in the dialog boxes does not overflow or
become truncated.
