Thanks for the suggestion, Merv, but your procedure only resets the
default for the data field, it doesn't change data existing in fields.
I guess that the short answer might be, it isn't possible to do
what I want?

Never say Never !
You say : One particular Text field .... over the whole
database ! ?
The interpretation I give to this is that there are numerous fields ...
and a number of fields in that group in which you wish to change the
Font !
If the interpretation is correct ...
are you able to sort the fields so that those needing to be changed
will appear in a row or a column ???
In which case you could highlight that row/column and format only the
cells it contains.
Reverse the sort to reinstate your presentation .
But perhaps I misinterpret what you are telling us .

In Layout click on the data field rectangle so that is shows it
little black "handles" for size changing then go Format and choose
the font etc. Return to Browse and the data should appear as chosen
in format. Save.
