Perhaps I don't understand your problem, but it sounds like you want to
redefine the normal style for the document you're converting. command-t
selects the define style dialog. Click on normal, and then set the desired
font and size. Then all you have to do is make text normal style
(command-shift-blank) if it has a modified font attached to it. You can set
up a document with the desired style and then copy styles from that
document into a new one by doing define style (command-t) followed by
opening the standard style document (command-o). [I have assumed you have
standard command key definitions].

This is not part of the problem/solution. Print postscript OVER text changes
the way that the printer handles the job. The default is to print postscript
UNDER text. From the manual "Without this option, the Postscript graphics are
laid down first, and the text and other items are printed on top, covering up
the Postscript." Thanks for suggestion. I looked at this command, too.
FYI: I have fixed my border/postscript problem by using Exact for the top
margin and using the Frame command to position everything. Note that you can
put two frames on top of each other if you want.

Subject: Landscape and Portriat in one single document?
Message-ID: <9402041901.AA13981@iastate.edu>
Is it possible to mix both landscape and portriat pages in one
singe Word document?
I have a 20+ page report and contains some wide tables. I don't
want to split it into two files since this report form is going to
be distributed to many others.
Please help.

Word 6 on Windows does not have the same file formats as the previous
version, e.g., paragraph marks are represented differently.
