Try right click and choose font from drop down menu which appears on your screen

It goes back to windings for no reason Agggrh!!!!!

It seems that its default font now! Why?

Just to clarify - you're working in MS Word right?

Right click.

Change font.

Before closing this box, look at the bottom, left hand corner and you'll see a button with 'DEFAULT' written on it - click it and then press OK.

Yes, I was using MN pre-holiday list and just editing it just for us. If i start again on a fresh Doc without the boxes. It seem to think that I want the rest of the doc in wingdings! I'm going to get on with my list without symbols just cross fingers I don't need symbols again as then the whole doc is in wingdings.

I did that and it just went back to wingdings on that doc. I'm just not going to use it which is a shame as I liked the Logo at the top! Cheers

The Mumsnet Logo? Just right click on the logo on the top of this page - you can paste it on to your own document!

Will do thank you
