Using Word 2007 to edit text in Publisher 2007
I have recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 Pro (64bit) installed
and now have a problem when editing text from Publisher 2007 in Word 2007. I produce our local church magazine where the main body of the text is Gill Sans 11pt. If I now right click the main body choose Change Text, Edit Story in MS Word, after editing and returning to Publisher all the 11pt text is now 10pt and I have to reformat it all again (this time in Publisher!). Previously I have been using Windows XP Pro with no such problems, so I think it may be a Win 7 problem. Has anyone else had a similar problem or can make suggestions? Many thanks Hugh

Why aren't you editing the text in Publisher?

Using Word 2007 to edit text in Publisher 2007
Mary
Sorry not to have replied earlier, but have been away!! I use Word rather than Publisher for editing as I have 20 pages all linked. Initially I get the text in differing fonts and sizes and it is easiest to get all 20 pages together in Word to format the text before sorting the items within Publisher; however since having the problem with the font size I have reverted to using Publisher, but now I can only do it 1 page at a time.

Using Word 2007 to edit text in Publisher 2007
You need to create a font style, or use one that is already formatted. Once you
have your edited material back into Publisher apply the style. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Hugh_B" wrote in message news  Mary Sorry not to have replied earlier, but have been away!!

Thanks for that, using a combination should work OK, but I still do not understand why using Windows 7 causes the font size to change when editing in Word. regards Hugh "Mary Sauer" wrote: You need to create a font style, or use one that is already formatted.
