How do I fix the font in a form answer block within a table?

[Diane R.]

The is a second request for help; am rewording question. How do I change the
font in an answer block of a form that is in a table format? I am using Word
2000 and when I changed the font within the table the form field font would
not change. Is this normal or can I do something to change the font?

No it's not normal. You should be able to select the form field and change
the font.

"Form answer block" has so many possible meanings.
If you can change the font in the table in general but not in the answer, I
suspect that:
(1) you are doing your formatting using direct formatting (just changing the
font of a selection) rather than through the style, and
(2) you are not working in a document that is protected for forms.

Which version of Word are you using?

If you press Alt-F9, what do you see for the answer field? (Press Alt-F9
again to restore the normal view of fields.)

I did a Ctrl A and changed the font that way. Also, I click on the icon on
the toolbar for locking the document as a form. Are these incorrect?

With your document unprotected, what does the problem field look like when
you do Alt-F9?
