FP97: Replaced Text Inherits Previous Font Characteristics (159432)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q159432 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Replace command (on the Tools menu of FrontPage
Explorer or the Edit menu of FrontPage Editor), the font
characteristics of the replaced characters may not be the same as the
font characteristics of the characters that were replaced.
CAUSE
When you use the Replace command, FrontPage formats the new text (the
text you typed in the Replace With box) with the characteristics of
character immediately preceding this new text.
The only exception to this behavior is if the preceding character is a
carriage return.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:
Method 1: Changing fonts on the first character of the line
Structure font changes in the document such that they occur as the
first characters on the line
Method 2: Changing fonts in the space prior to the characters changed
Structure the font changes such that the font switch is applied to the
character immediately preceding the characters which you want to
appear in the new font (even if this character is a space character).
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
Font characteristics include every setting on the Font tab of the Font
dialog box. To view the Font dialog box, click Font on the Format menu
in FrontPage Explorer.
