This has probably been answered many times for newer versions of Word but I have not seen anything for Word 2000.

My default typeface in all Windows applications is Arial MT Lt. It is an adobe typeface.

Yet when I copy and paste from one Word document to another, the text shows up in Times Roman!

Is there a fix for this?



(Yes I know I've been living with it for 10 years but I am slow to anger)!

Hi, alansecker. I never worked in W2000, but it sounds as though Word is simply taking your Style from the first document and applying it's own Normal Style. Have you checked your Normal.dot template? If the Style called Normal in the template is TNR, that's probably your culprit. Modifying this style to the Adobe face should fix your problem.

Very helpful in helping to pin down what might be the cause but it now seems to be the 'Default paragraph font' under Styles. This appears to be the only one that cannot be modified.

Thanks for trying to help.

Don't give up yet. Perhaps Macropod or someone more familiar with 2000 will chime in. I'm sure there's a solution.

Hi alansecker,

You can modify any Style in Word. If you want to do this for all documents, you should open Word's 'Normal' template for editing, change the 'Normal' paragraph Style there and save the changes. Quite simple, really.
