Hi Thomas, It would help to clarify questions if you used FM's own terminology. When you "change the font in a document", what exactly are you doing? Updating a character tag? Applying a tag to text? If you are applying a character tag (not a "style") to a cross-reference that has already been inserted, then it's likely that the change won't "stick" because every time FM reopens the document, the x-ref's get updated (= overwritten). The correct way to apply tags to x-ref's is to include the character tag in the x-ref format definition. All character tags that you have in your catalog are listed at the bottom of the Building Blocks list in the Edit Cross-Reference Format dialog box. Place your cursor in the Definition box at the appropriate place and click your CrossReference tag in the list; it will appear in <brackets> in the Definition. Click Change, Done, and the appropriate Update choice, and save your document.
