I am creating a new layout and i have all the text formatting set but the text appears to big on one particular field, even when I print it. Being that I have all the fields set to allow NO EDITING on this new layout and the text format matches all of my other fields, the text still apears to big.

If I change that particular field to allow editing, go to a record that the text looks too big and I highlight all the text in that field and right-click and select size it shows the font size at 12 and I have it set to size 10 on my layout?

Any ideas? Have I confused everyone?

The characters have been formatted with font size 12 some time, maybe
they were pasted into a field that way. Select the eintire field
contents and format as you like.

In order to prevent this in the future, you may set an auto-enter
calculation that replaces the field contents in the field options:
TextFormatRemove ( self )

Ah! Not my OP, but that answers an issue I've been having with
pasted text nicely!
