Good afternoon all. I'm having a really weird problem with a frame in
Word97. I have a frame with a few textboxes inside it representing a UNIX
screen. When I doubleclick on it, it opens and I can edit it. But when I
choose Close picture, the frame closes and then the fonts all change to a
serif, large point type face. I'm using a small point Helvetica. If I
print the page with the frame in this condition, it prints with the large
point serif font (which wraps and types over itself).
Now, for the really weird part.. If I resize the closed frame ever so
slightly, most of the time, the font will go back to what I want. But
sometimes, no matter what I do, I can't get the font to go back to normal.
I usually can close the document, come back in, and get it to fix itself.
Has anyone experienced this Microslop problem?
