Font changes when pasting

My documents are in Times New Roman. I copy some Times New Roman text (either from
the document I am working in, or from a different document). I paste
it in. The paste-in appears in Helvetica!! This is despite the fact that
the font setting, at the time of copying and pasting, is set on Times New Roman.
Also, the font is set on Times New Roman in Preferences. Of course, I am able to
highlight the paste-in, and change it to Times New Roman; but why doesn't it
appear in Times New Roman in the first place?? Please help. Thank you.

I found the thread that contains the extremely clever
and clearly explained solution
using the styles menu and text attributes. It worked.
Thank you.

  • Font changes when pasting between InDesign documents

    I'm copying and pasting the content of one InDesign CS5 document into another and am finding that the font of my general body text is changing from Times to Minion Pro.
    This occurs with all the following methods:
    Copy and Paste multiple text frames
    Copy and Paste single text frames
    Copy and Paste content of a text frame into a new text frame
    Drag and Dropping multiple text frames
    I can't see any option in Preferences or Character pallette along the lines of 'Paste Remembers Fonts' (in the same vein as 'Paste Remembers Layers'.
    I've change the default font in my existing documents to Times and also changed it with no documents open so all new documents have Times as the default.
    I've also changed the Basic Paragraph style font to Times.
    The correct paragraph styles already exist in both documents and remain in place when I copy and paste. Fonts for all other paragraph styles (eg headings etc) come across correctly, it's only my main body text that changes, with the font of the style showing as overidden.
    Of course, I can simply select all the pasted text and clear the overides but I'd rather solve the problem properly.
    One glimmer of hope: If I start another new document since changing the default font for new docs, the copy and paste retains my Times font.
    Any thoughts? Can I fix my existing document's bad habit or will I need to start again?

    When I paste the text frames, the paragraph styles remain intact but the font changes to the ID default, Minion Pro. When I click the Clear Overides button, the font reverts to the correct font for the style. There are no Character Style issues that are causing this, it seems purely related to the default font setting.
    However, I've found a nice simple solution that I should've tried in the first place. Now that I've set the defaults to what I want them to be and tested this with a new document (as mentioned in original post), it was simply a matter of doing a Save As to get those changes to apply to my existing document.
    Thanks for the input everyone.

  • Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word?  They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

    Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF?  It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

    Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?

  • OneNote 2013: Font changes when pressing Enter / Return key

    I have the same problem as this guy (who didn't get a relevant answer): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/233833f7-dde8-414d-bdca-604ed8d57667/onenote-2013-font-changes-when-pressing-enter-return-key?forum=officeitpro
    I set my default to Calibri 14, but every time I press enter (I make a lot of bullet lists) the font changes to Calibri 11. 

    Hi,
    Did you change the default font after you typed a few words in a note container?
    Setting the default font in Microsoft Office OneNote affects text that you type in new note containers only. It does not affect existing text or text that you add to existing note containers.
    If you want to change the font in an existing note container, you need to change it manually under
    Home tab > Basic Text.
    Thanks,

    If that's the only place you used that unique font, yes.  Convert the textbox to an image file by applying a drop shadow to the font and setting the opacity of the drop shadow to 5%.

  • Font changes when client is using IBE (in browser editing). Anyone had this issue and know how to fix it?

    I'm using Web Font, Open Sans Regular
    It's fine when I log into IBE but when the client does it the font changes, when they add words to the end of an existing sentence the font is fine, it's when they add a return and add a new line of text, this is when the font changes

    Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same exact issue.

  • Font changes when copy and paste url (Safari to Mail)

    When copy from iphone 5 (vs 7.1.2-& no I don't want to update yet ) Safari, a URL/web address and paste into MAIL app, the font changes and won't paste in the same format as the email I've been typing. Is there any way to correct this? Also, anything I type after the paste keeps that same "other" format, when I want what I had started email in to stay the same.
    I tho't I"d look at some settings and under iphone Accessibiilty I have Larger Text ON and Bold Text chosen, and Reduce Motion ON. Under GENERAL and TEXT SIZE I have it set to 4th choice up. I don't see any MAIL settings re FONT. Would any of these be the cause?

    OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
    When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
    So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
    I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
    The other, current, method I have been using is to:
    1. select and copy the text in Safari
    2. paste text into notepad
    3. select and copy text from notepad
    4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
    Or in Firefox:
    1. select and copy the text in Firefox
    2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

  • Font changes when converting MSWord to PDF

    Sometimes when I convert a MSWord documents to a PDF, the font changes slightly on pages where there Figures.  The font appears to be in bold.
    How can I convert to a PDF and achieve a uniform look for the font throughout my documents?
    I used MS Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat XI.

    Are the fonts graphics or actual vector fonts? It may be that you are using a bitmap font also. If it is a true vector font, then there should be no pixel issues.

  • Font change when converting a Word File

    I write documents using heading styles to automatically generate Tables of Contents, using Word 2003.  When I convert the document to PDF, everything is normal.
    When I transfer the same file to my laptop, which uses Word 2007, and try to convert the file to PDF, the TOC and Heading fonts change from Arial to Times New Roman. (The rest of the text stays in Arial).
    What am I doing wrong? 
    The version of Acrobat (X) is used.

    Are you stating that the file previews correctly and only changes upon creating the pdf?
    Are you creating your pdf via printing to the Adobe PDF Printer or creating pdf via the Word button?
    What pdf settings? Avoid Smallest File Size or Standard

  • Pages fonts changes when I print

    I have a table in pages that the font style appears correct on screen but it changes when I print or export to pdf
    The font is avenir condensed regular.  A few of the lines in the table drop a portion of the text when I print or export as pdf.  How can I get this to print and export as it is viewed?  Why is it changing?

    My graphics studio is running Adobe CC, so we are using the latest versions of Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and After Effects.
    The files in question were inherited from a client. We need to maintain their product sell sheets that they created.  Because they are working with Pages and Numbers we will get more files this way.  Its a problem to receive files that look one way but print another. 
    My question remains.  Is there a way to edit and print pages documents in Pages 5.2  from documents that were created in 5.5.  This is only an
    incremental change.  The files open and display correctly.  They even look right after editing. The disconnect is when we print them or create a PDF.
    I'm trying to avoid migrating my entire studio to Yosemite just so we can run Pages 5.5.  If I migrate one mac i'll have to move the entire studio.

  • How do I solve font changes when downloading a PDF document?

    When downloading some PDF documents, the font changes.  I have tried several troubleshooting solutions, but my issue was not solved.  What can I do to prevent this from happening or if it does, to remedy the problem?

    Yes, Ajlan, thank you. I solved the issue by opening PDF documents of unwanted fonts with another PDF document reader.  When I open my files folder, there is an option (drop down box) at the top that allows for me to choose from either Adobe Reader or PDF Vista.  It may have been there all along; I just didn't notice it until I recently had this issue.
    Take care :-)

  • Title fonts change when published

    I have been making a site based on the white template. It has a picture in the header. When I alter the page title (e.g. change colour) the font changes to small hardly readable text wjwhen published, even though it looks fine in iWeb (and was fine prior to changing the font colour).
    Can anyone help? Is it because of having the jpeg in the header part? There is no overlap of images and the page title.
    Thanks

    Try dragging the photo out of the header, deleting the text and redoing it in the color of your choice and then putting the photo back.
    Save and do a "publish all" and make sure you empty your browser cache before viewing the changes in Safari.
    This covers three trouble shooting steps at once and may save you time in the long run.
