Font size problem

I have a file tags.txt which is in Courier New 10.5 and I want to change it
to 9. It will change and save OK, but when I re-open it has gone back to
10.5. Changing it in WordPad works, and if I re-open in WordPad it remembers
it is 9, but it goes back to 10.5 when opened in Word.

A Command Button in Access runs a VBA instruction to open the document in
Word, and I cannot find any way to change the font size it opens in. Can
anyone advise a way round the problem?

Thanks
Dudley
 
If this is a plain text file, then it does not store the font formatting -
only the text. The display in Word is controlled by the plain text style.
You can set that to what you like for your own PC, but the setting will not
travel with the document while it remains in plain text format.
