Hi, in a large document all the fonts changed! Heading 1 from fontsize 20 to fontsize 12, Heading 2 from 16 fontsize to 12 fontsize etc. If I start a new document everything works perfect. Automatically update document style is unchecked and was unchecked also before this unwished change. I have restarted the computer, used word repair, changed the view normal, printlayout to but nothing helped: in the style I have e.g. fontsize 20 but in the document is fontsize 12. Thanks for all help with how to repair the document and how to avoid this happaning again. Best regards Georg

Thanks Suzanne, just now it is not set to "Recover Text from any file" but as it has been recovered I did not see the state. Anyhow I know now how to try to avoid this problem. Best regards Georg
