Styles problem with form fields

[Jen]

I have created a simple template with multiple form fields to fill in. Styles
and formats have been set for the template. I created "BodyStyle", which is
Normal + 12 pt after. The form fields are formatted using BodyStyle.

When I type in a field, the font is not Arial as I've set, but something
totally different (looks like Courier or something similar). If I select the
field and switch it to Normal, it goes back to Arial, then when I switch it
back to BodyStyle, it keeps the Arial font. But whenever I type in a "fresh"
field it's in this weird font.

No idea if I'm explaining this properly, but I'm stumped. I've checked the
formats (both Normal and BodyStyle) and both are supposed to be Arial.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jen

Hi Cindy,

Thanks so much! I don't know what all that talk is about Asian fonts,
because I certainly didn't apply anything like that (at least not on
purpose). But I tried deleting out the form fields, re-applying the style,
then re-inserting the form fields, and it worked like a charm!

Thanks so much for your help - I hope this may be useful for someone else
out there experiencing the same issue.
