458, Print font changing in OE.

Howdy all. For some reason when i am composing an email and go to a new paragraph the print size changes and i have to change it back to what i was using.Did i inadvertantly change a setting somewhere?

I am kind of able to duplicate what you are describing but it takes some effort. If I manually select font size, once the typing cursor is in an OE message box, it will remain the newly selected size as long as I allow OE to autoscroll at the end of each line or if I hit return to put a "hard" return near the end of a typed line.

But if I hit return at the end of a line a few or several times then use the mouse to relocate the cursor, instead of allowing an autoscroll or making a hard return, then font size returns to default.

Seems to me its a design quirk of OE. I tried to see if I could duplicate this in Word but it wouldn't.

So having said this, I assume you don't change the font size from default? LOL :7

If you do, then this may help explain it. If not, then whatever is causing it is probably related the this, but not identical.

Try not using the cursor, (or backspace, or up or down arrows) from a hard return to see if it continues to happen.

Do you set the font size for each message or let the default do it? What font size and style is it to start and what does it change to? Right click each paragraph individually and select font from the menu that appears to see what the font/style is. Is the reverted to font your default font?
