Thread: help with typing

Need more info. What are you typing with Apple or PC If PC is notepad bold? What program do you use IE Word etc Sure its not caps lock jammed etc.

Thanks for reply

I am using PC XP Home, notepad is normal I am using Microsoft Word.
Caplocks is not jammed. Wordpad is typing normal. So possibly the problem is in Microsoft Word.

Thank You

It is only in Email that the typing is bold

Notepad is normal
Microsoft Word is normal
Wordpad is normal

But when I type in Google to do a search that also is in bold typing

Thank

Try not pressing the keys so hard...

Download and install Open Office. It is free and works better than MS. It also runs Word files.

And will have absolutely no effect on the problem reported

John,

In mail go into Tools..then Options.. then Mail Format..then Fonts and make sure you haven't set a bold format.

John,

Can you post a screenshot please? Press print screen on the top right of your keyboard, then open paint and go to the edit menu and chose paste. Then save it and attach it like normal here. This should help us understand the issue a little better.

When you say bold, it could be a number of things, especially if the little B icon isn't showing as selected - a larger than normal zoom setting may make it appear bold onscreen when it's not for example.

Also try printing for us - does the text print in bold or is it normal?

Cheers
Andrew

sorry to be a pain in the A but I cannot attatch the copy I have on the desk top
to this post. I have clicked and opened every thing I can see to no avail. All the typing in my email is in bold, I click the B and it makes it more bold. It only applies to my sending emails and receiving a reply. Strangly it does the same in the Google search bar. All other applications I use for typing are normal, IE word pad Microsoft Word etc.

thank You

Hi John

Down the bottom when you add a new post is a manage attachments button. If you click that it pops up another window. Click the top 'choose file' button then click upload, type your post then we should see it.

Unfortuantly without seeing it happening it could be any number of things

If this doesn't work I'll try and arrange a time to remote to your pc and help you

Cheers

Which email program are you using.?

I am using Microsoft Outlook version 6

I'm using Outlook 2007, so the path may be different in your version. However, I think you need to look at your 'stationary' settings. In my version the path is Tools-> Options-> Mail Format-> Stationary and Fonts.

Once you are there, check the 3 Font settings.

John

Still no screenshot?

I think John's problem is in word, not outlook. John can you confirm please?
