error - "The number must be between 1 and 600."

[Guest]

I am working in Word 2000 on a Windows 2000 PC. I have a
document that has been manually redlined and I am trying
to clean up the font colors and strikethroughs but every
time I select text and go into format/font I get the
following error popup

"The number must be between 1 and 600." (click ok)

The font in this document is our standard font - Times new
Roman, 11pt. and has either red or blue coloring and
double underlines or strikethroughs. I am able to get
around the color issue using the button on the toolbar and
was able to use cut/paste special (Unformatted text) to
clear the other font issues but I would like to know what
causes the error because the work around is annoying.

thanks.

Hi anonymous,

Check in "Tools > Macro > Macros..." if you have a macro with the name
"FormatFont".

A macro with that name would intercept the "Format > Font" command, and
might show the error popup.

You can rename the macro, or delete it if you're sure you don't need it.

Regards,
Klaus

Just select the coloured text and press Ctrl+Spacebar.

Hi Holly,

I probably was on the wrong track. Try out Terry's suggestion, and have a
look at your thread in the .printingfonts group.

Good luck!

No you weren't wrong. You were just looking at the problem like a
programmer!!!
