Well, test it, Daniel, and see if you get the same effect. As I said in my reply to Brian, I got the tip either from OOo or LibO several weeks ago. I use it for pasting Mandarin and PinYin from various on-line dictionaries, like Google Translate, to some tables showing Mandarin, PinYin and English. The Mandarin symbols are nearly always about 24pt, and my table stores them as 14pt. The PinYin is grey Times New Roman and I want it in black Courier. You say "up to several choices". What choices do you have other than Formatted Text (RTF) and Unformatted Text? //James
