In an internal memorandum distributed on Wednesday, the department declared "Courier New 12" - the font and size decreed for US diplomatic documents for years - to be obsolete and unacceptable after February 1." It looks like the new standard font is Times New Roman 14. Yes, that's right 14 point. Just for laughs, I took the last Word document I worked on and converted the Normal style to Times New Roman 14. It went from a 51 page document to a 75 page monster. 8O Are the people in the US State department that blind?? Do we really need to waste paper because some people won't get reading glasses? And further more, who gets paid to decide if a font type is banned? This is your tax dollars hard at work people! __________________ "I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious" - Albert Einstein Mike.Temporale.com www.MobileJaw.com
