Default font not observed in processed document?

[dawns]

I have a template with content controls set to Arial font type. However, after my code processes the document to insert the data and I open that processed document, all the data within the content controls is Times New Roman, not Arial as expected.

I would have thought it would take the font style of the content control, but it doesn't appear to be doing that. Do I have to manually set the font type? If so, is there a way to set it to the default font type in the content control (as opposed to setting it in code to "Arial") so that I don't have to assume all my users would want Arial?

Thanks,
Dawn

I suspect Word isn't honouring your font, because you aren't supposed to be able to bind a rich text control.

If this is right, your options include:

- placing your content control in a run with appropriate run properties (no good if it needs to be multi-para)

- redefining the document default font to what you want
