Ballyshannon Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Sorry, I had posted a detailed description of the issue, but after closing and re-opening Designer, the problem disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballyshannon Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 I appreciate that, Callum. It seems to be doing fine now. Bally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballyshannon Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Well, after thinking all is well, it's doing it again. This time it was pasted text from an e-mail. I closed Designer, re-opened and still comes in as bold even when font characteristics are set to Arial Narrow regular (non-bold) 11pt. Have no idea what's going on. See screen capture below. Left is typed directly onto page, right is pasted text set to the exact font characteristics as the directly typed text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Have you tried Edit > Paste Without Format?

Ballyshannon Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 1 hour ago, walt.farrell said: Have you tried Edit > Paste Without Format? Yes. The copied text is brought in as a group of images, not text, which won't work at all! I just tried something that seems to work. When text is pasted, the paragraph style shows "[No Style]" and when changing that to "Body", the text changes to normal non-bold. I then change the character info to Arial Narrow 11pt with "No Style" selected, and it's good to go. I've tried it several times with text from different e-mails and websites and it's worked every time. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 You could also try Edit > Paste Special and see what choices you have there. Perhaps one will work better than the others.

Ballyshannon Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Thanks Walt. I did try that and discovered that selecting Unicode Text in Paste Special does work and basically does the same type of 'normal' non-bold formatting as the method I posted above, but without having to manually change the Style, etc. I've just been too busy to share. But now we know, and thanks for your input...and everyone's input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
