Subscriber Incorrectly Assumes Publisher Direct Formatting

ID: Q139862


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.x, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c


SYMPTOMS

Direct formatting applied to the first character of a Word for the Macintosh publisher is applied to all nonformatted text in a subscriber when you save the subscriber information in Microsoft Word for Windows 2.0 format and then open it in Word for Windows.

For example, if the letter H in the publisher "Have a nice day." is directly formatted All Caps, the subscriber information becomes "HAVE A NICE DAY."


WORKAROUND

To prevent direct formatting from affecting all nonformatted text in a subscriber, add a space, period, or other character that doesn't have direct formatting to the beginning of the text before publishing.
