Check out the .rtf property of a text member. So if you set a text member to Arial, Bold 14 you get this stored in the .rtf property. If you store that in a global or property in a Behavior and use it to reset the text member you will maintain your styling.

And correct the fonts from arroundings of the files.. so you get them right. (Have used 'delete' also for fields..) etc. ------------------------------------------------- FREE E-MAIL IN 1 MINUTE! - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.pc.nu [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
