Font and types sizes changes without warning

R

Roger Corke

I write a weekly newsletter for my village and always use 12 point Times
Roman type set left.

People email me contributions for it in all sorts of types sizes and fonts.
I cut and paste them in, then type Ctrl A to highlight the whole document and
reset it to 12 point Times Roman.

Then, when I continue typing, every so often without warning a completely
different font or type size appears. It's usually at the beginning of a
paragraph or after a carriage return and it's obviously some sort of hangover
from the original emails I cut and pasted in.

I would have thought I would have got rid of the old font style and type
size but obviously not. Has anyone got any ideas how to shake the old font
and type sizes out of my document permanently?

thanx in advance

Set the normal paragraph style to give the layout you want. Apply it to the
whole document.
Press CTRL+Space to remove any manual formatting. Then format the document
properly using styles.
