Signature Font Size Changes in Outlook 2003 w/Word as Editor

[tmpotvin]

Hello,

I am out of ideas on this one. We have a standard signature and at the end,
there's a link to our website. The default is HTML and when a new message is
created, it looks great. The issue comes up if a user has set Word to their
default editor. Once it's set to the default editor, the font size for the
links increases to 12 and the rest of the signature stays at 10. I've
checked options and tried to open the file manually in Word, and everything
looks ok.

Please let me know if anyone has seen this before and what can be done.

Yes, it's set to Default Paragraph Font and the font name is correct, it just
increases the size. The confusing part is that if I open the file in Word
individually, it's fine, but it's just when creating a new message with Word
as the editor that it increases the font size of those hyperlinks. They're in
HTML format and the font tags within the HTML document are the right size, so
I'm not sure why Word is overriding those settings.

Yes, unfortunately, they're still oversized. I had a few test messages sent
back and forth but still no luck.

I've looked all of the place in Word, and if the entire signature was
changing then it would be easy to fix, but the fact that it's just the
hyperlinks and it's only the font size is what's really confusing me.

I've even went in to Advanced Edit, and the font is showing up as the
correct size.

Thanks for your help on this, and let me know if there's anything else that
this could be.

I've actually found a way around working with this. It required a bit of
manual tweaking of the HTML file for the signature, but it appears to be
working now.
Thanks for your help!
