Thank you, Richard. I'll take a look at that. Yes, my colleague doesn't adjust formatting using these controls. She does L10N and it helps her in some way to see this information as she works. I'm not sure how or why, but she really wants to see it. I may be able to make her very happy now :>}
Thank you to all who responded. As usual, you're great and I appreciate the time you take to help...

See Customizing_Frame_Products.pdf in your FM installation's OnlineManuals directory. The first thing you may want to do is check the [Files] section of maker.ini to see if a custom toolbar configuration file has been installed. Something like this: ToolBarIniFile=fminit\configui\PolycomFMToolbr.ini Open either your custom toolbar file, if any, or the default (FMToolbr.ini) and find the [Ribbon Bar] section. Mine (FM 7.2) looks like this (I've disabled ad hoc formatting controls): [RibbonBar] HEIGHT=26 Y_OFFSET=1 AlignmentPopup=Off SpacingPopup=Off TabWell=On ParaFormatPalette=On CharFormatPalette=On FontChoice=Off SizePopup=Off CopySpecial=On Repeats=On AlignWell=Off SpacingWell=Off The order is unchanged from the default, so in a standard FM 7.2 install, the font size list should follow the font list, not the pgf tag list. In any case, if SizePopup=Off, change it to On, save, and start/restart FM. That should restore the control. If SizePopup is already On, then ... you got me, something's wrong somewhere. :-} Personally, I think you're better off with that control -- and many others -- turned off. You shouldn't be applying alignment, font, size, line spacing, bold, italic, etc., with ad hoc controls; you should be using defined pgf and char tags. Speaking of customizing FM, you may want to look into Shlomo Perets' customization kit (http://www.microtype.com/ToolbarPlus.html). My own customizations were built on an earlier version of that, and I highly recommend it -- you get a _bunch_ of extremely useful new controls, commands, shortcuts, etc. HTH! Richard Richard G.
