Richard is absolutely correct about not needing to include the Default ? Font switch in a variable definition. In fact, it can be undesirable if you need to insert the variable into a string that has some character format applied to it because the variable will appear in the paragraph's base font format rather than the applied character format. But I do have to correct one small detail in Richard's message: the alias for the Default ? Font switch in a variable definition uses a forward slash rather than a backslash. -Fred Ridder ?
