Word 2008 and font changes

[waschbaer]

Hi

I am using Word 2008 on a MacBook with SnowLeopard 10.6.1. and I am having some trouble after scanning the document with BE. One example: The style of a paragraph with a couple of citations in it is Arial size 11. After I have scanned the word doc the text is still in Arial 11 but the font of the intext citations has changed to Times New Roman size 12. I can't explain that. I read a couple of discussions about that problem on the forum and BE is saying that the style sheet need to be kept in mind. Well, first of all, there is no such term as a style sheet in word 2008 (I at least couldn't find one), and second if BE means the word setting "current style of the text", I have formatted the text with the appropriate style (style: Normal; font Arial size 11) prior to the BE scan. But after the scan the citation will be in the different format but is still called style "normal". What is BE actually doing here? I have wasted more than 2 hours on finding a solution, but instead of BE just taking the style and font from the text before and after the intext citation it changes it. Furthermore, the bib. is also in TNR size 12 for style Normal, although there is no style Normal with TNR size 12 in the list of the available styles.

Why is BE making it sometimes sooo complicated?

Every paragraph has a style sheet (default is Normal). If setting the style sheet for an affected paragraph isn't helping, you should contact tech support for help.

To those following this -- after going through this via tech support I see that a change we made in 10.6.1 to accommodate Nisus Writer Pro had an unintended effect on Word. I'm working on a fix for this now, and will post back to this thread when it's available.

I think the font issue with Word scans is fixed. I've made a silent update to 10.6.1. If you find that the citations that Bookends inserts in your word documents doesn't match the style sheet, please download 10.6.1 and see if it works now. If you're not having problems right now don't bother -- any fixes will be rolled into the next announced upgrade.
