Re:

I have a document in which the "Clear Formatting" box which normally appears
at the top of the Styles list has somehow corrupted.

The box, which normally simply has the text "Clear Formatting" with a hover
tag "Clears formatting and styles from the selected text" still has the
hover tag but now displays (to the very small extent it's able given the
fixed dimensions of the box) "130" in Wyatt GB CFA font at 130pts. In
addition, when clicked it doesn't clear anything - it changes the selected
text to Wyatt GB CFA 130pt!! I note also that when I try to page number, the
page numbers appear in Wyatt ... 130pt.

Nowhere in the document is that font used, however I have no knowledge of
what may have been done in the past.

Firstly, is there any way I can repair the 'Clear Formatting' function?

Secondly, how can I reset the default Page Number Style?

Thank you & Regards
Ian Bull
 
Hi Ian,

A quick test shows that this entry is formatted the same as the Normal style
in the document. If you change the Normal style to something a bit more...
"normal", does this entry also change?

Cindy,

Many thanks - you are correct, fixed - i didn't notice it at first because
'Normal' doesn't illustrate the font used.
