Hey I have a word document that was formatted in Tahoma I copied and pasted
some text that was formatted in Franklin Gothic. I highlight the entire
document and select Tahoma font but it doesn't stick for the entire document.
The text in Franklin Gothic stayed with that font. I then went and selected
only the Franklin Gothic text and tried to change it but it wouldn't change
that way either. I then went line by line and selected each line and I
finally got it to change to the font.
How come I can't select the entire document and change it that way? Is this
a bug that there is a fix for or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
Lynn

Can you go back to before you pasted the text and, instead of simply
pasting it, do Paste Unformatted? that will wipe out the old font
information.

Select the text and press CTRL+Space to reset the font to that of the
underlying style.
