Pleading Wizard customization?

[gbushor]

Word XP; Win 98: In pleading wizard, the default fonts the
wizard sets up in the templates it creates are too small
to meet requirements of court rules. For example,
the "default" font is 9 pt, but the court requires a
minimum of 12 pt. Also, line numbers are 9 pt and don't
match up with body text lines -- another requirement -- so
I've had to make a generic template, then modify each
document and section that comes from the template. Which
is tedious at best: what's the point of the wizard if you
have to go over and redo most everything it does? When I
try to open a template that the wizard created to edit it,
the wizard itself reopens to enter specific form data --
parties, etc. -- and I cannot seem to get it to modify the
templates as I want them. "Modifying" the template from
within pleading wizard only allows you to modify what the
wizard permits you to modify, which is basically very
little and nothing re: real formatting.

Is there a way to set up the pleading wizard to create
document templates with the font sizes, etc, that I need,
or do I have to customize each doc as I create it?

Thanks,

GJB_

Have you modified the actual styles? For example, the Line Number character
style determines the font size for line numbering. The spacing is determined
by the line spacing of (IIRC) Normal style.
