ACC1x: Changing Font Size Causes Subscript Text

 Last reviewed: May 14, 1997
Article ID: Q109719
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1

SYMPTOMS

The current line of text you are editing in a multiple-line text box such as a Memo field appears to be in subscript after you make a font change.

RESOLUTION

The problem will disappear as soon as a line wrap occurs while you are editing the text in the multiple-line text box. You can also correct the problem by selecting a different control on the form and then returning to the multiple-line text box.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Open the sample database NWIND.MDB.

  2. Open the Employees form in Form view.

  3. Place the insertion point at the bottom of the first record's Notes field. Press CTRL+ENTER to start a new line in the field.

  4. Type any text. Note that the text is displayed correctly.

  5. View the form in Design view.

  6. Select the Notes text box. Change the font for the text box from MS Sans Serif 8-point to Times New Roman 12-point.

  7. View the form in Form view.

  8. Place the insertion point in the middle of the third line of text in the Notes field, and type any text. Note that the text you type appears to be in subscript. If you type enough text to cause the line to wrap, the text you type will appear normal again.

  9. Close the Employees form. Do not save the changes to the form.
