OneNote Format text

[mitch13]

Somehow I have managed to format ALL my notes to Arial 11.

Is there a global command for format?

If not how did I manage this!

I want to easily chnane all my formats back the original (Arial 12 or 14).
No, backup is not an option - already overwritten!

Cheers

There is setting for the standard font to be used:
Tools | Options | Edit
This works only for future notes, however.

No idea :-(

Unfortunately there is no global command for replacing fonts.
You'll have to do it manually

P.S. The standard font for ON is Calibri. Very wise decision of the
developer - ways better for ON usage than Arial (and any other font I
tried).

Perhaps you deleted or moved the Calibri font and the OS is using the
closest alternative it can find. The two fonts bear a resemblance. I agree
with Rainald... the Calibri, to me, is lighter, more graceful than Ariel as
body text. It seems to work well on screens. More up-to-date than the Arial,
which had its own years as the "modernistic" typographic look in the 80s.
Microsoft put it on the map by bundling it with the OS. If you are interested
in fonts, Arial's history is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial_font

Not the 80' me thinks ;-)
Actually "Arial" - although there are differences as shown in the
valuable article in Wikipedia - more or less is a Helvetica.
And that's one of the "Swiss" font families. And their great days were
the late *sixties*.
It was a typical font the stylish layouts for brochures with a lot of
space left free.

Honestly speaking, I did never understand how an why this kind of Sans
Serif font was introduced for "mass" text. It simply does not fit for
that ...

Personally, I kind of like the Consolas font. It's a non-proportional
font (which is a little easier on my aging eyes), and it has the
advantage of having the little slashes through the zeroes.

It's not something that comes with Windows or Office, but if you
search for "consolas font" you'll probably find it. I don't remember
where I got it or when, but I've been using it for a long time.

Yes, Consolas is a nice non-ps font and it's one the best choices for
programming
For OneNote I prefer a ps-font and especially Calibri.

For writing and reading mails and news, I prefer a non-ps font, however.
For a long time for this as well as for programming my favorite has been
"Letter Gothic 12". It's main advantage is that it runs with 10CPI
(instead of the normal 10CPI) and by this the lines are shorter.
You may have a look a sheet with screenshots of a number of fonts, incl.

I found it installed on my machine. So I think it's part the fonts which
came with Vista or Office.
