Hey, I'm no guru but I'll try (perhaps if anyone else wants to chat - better do it off the list unless its useful to a lot of people) try format (top bar) - style - modify (bottom middle) - format (bottom middle) - font - font tab (at top) - scroll font to courier (top left) set style and size (adjacent) - ok (bottom right) - ok (bottom left) - apply (bottom right) and hopefully you have reset your NORMAL (IMPORTANT - look at the box adjacent left of font in the ms word window - try playing with headings etc - interesting). You should type ordinary text as NORMAL.Other settings can have different fonts etc. Let me know if this helps. Good luck David J. R.
