Hi,

I have a document where all body text is in Arial 9. I was trying to find all occurrences of a word and change it to something else. But as I pressed Change, the font switched to Arial 12. Very annoying, Why does it do that and how can I prevent it? I am using Framemaker 12 I think.

Thanks for the video. Based on what I see, I am not sure what is going on. I would like to see the document to know for sure.

Hi,

Did you just change to other text?

Or did you select By Pasting? Then the formatting of the text which you had copied is used. This could be Arial 12 pt.

Best regards

Winfried

What was your search text and what's the replacement text?

When you search for text across paragraphs (with wildcards and \p or \P), it could be that the formatting of a paragraph before or after the searched text would be applied.

My guess is that the target paragraph has an override on it to make it 9 pt. When the text is changed, it is using the base paragraph formatting, which is 12 pt.
