WINDOWS | MACINTOSH

= SYMPTOMS =

In Microsoft Project, when you select a value from the Font Size list box on the Visual Basic toolbar, any of the following symptoms may occur:


 * When you click the Font Size list box arrow again, the value that appears in the Font Size list box is different from the value that you selected.
 * When you display the Module Format tab in the Options dialog box, the value that appears in the Size list box is different from the value that you selected from the Font Size list box.

= CAUSE =

This behavior can occur if you enter a value in the Font Size list box, or select a value from the Font Size list box that is greater than a specified value for the font chosen. In other cases where you have selected a font from the Font Size list box, the size incorrectly reverts to a size no larger than 23 pts (Windows) or 31 pts (Macintosh).

For example, in Microsoft Project for Windows, this problem occurs when you use the Courier New font if you select or enter a value greater than 23 in the Font Size list box. In Microsoft Project for the Macintosh, this problem occurs when you use the Courier font if you select or enter a value greater than 31 in the Font Size list box.

The point size at which this behavior may occur depends on the font that you are using. This behavior may occur, for example, if you enter a point size that is greater than the largest number available in the Font Size list box for a given font. For example, this behavior occurs if you enter a value greater than 9 in the Point Size box while using the font Fixedsys in Windows.

= WORKAROUNDS =

To work around this problem, select a point size of less than 24 (Windows) or less than 32 (Macintosh).

NOTE: You may need to select a smaller point size to work around this problem, depending on the resolution of the video driver you are using.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
