Subject:text changing size when file is inserted. :o( From:Cirrus Matusek <CMatusek -at- LTDCOMMODITIES -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 24 Aug 1999 07:43:29 -0500
here's something interesting and frustrating; i'll try to be clear:
my doc consists of inserted files
in those files, i have screen prints and text underneath the images
on the screen prints, i have call outs with text (9 pt font)
after i create those files and then insert them into my doc, the font size
of the text in the call outs (over the image) changes to something much
larger (child-like appearance!) -- this only happens 1/3 of the time that i
insert files
it's not the fact that i'm inserting into any sort of template, because
nothing else changes (only the call-out text!). i've tried to change the
font in the big doc and control-shift-F7 to save the change in it's original
inserted file, but whenever the doc is refreshed, the same old HUGE font
size comes back. has anyone else encountered this? assistance is much
appreciated.
