Default font changing

[GaryCantley]

Hi.

Customer asked me today about changing the default font.

Word and OE are setup with Arial as the default font.

When the customer copies something from an email, or one word document to another, the font changes to Times New Roman.

TNR is not the font in the document that is being pasted to.

Is there a change that can be made to globally (on is PC) accept Arial as the font?

Would it make any difference if I removed (if poss) TNR from the fonts file? Or would it pick another font in its place?

Havent come across this one before but I'm sure someone out there has.

OS is Windows XP.

Thanks

Gary

I don't use OE but in Word, the font being copied is usually preserved in the paste. If you copy Arial it should come out as Arial whatever the font in the receiving document. In later versions of Word there are smart tags and you can also do Edit/Paste Special.

The surefire method of remove previous fonts and html links is to paste into Notepad, copy then paste into the receiving documents.

Thanks, I always thought it was copy Arial, paste Arial etc but its not how this is happening

Will pass on the comments re Notepad.

Thanks again
