font sample in preview panel

[Guest]

Hi
When I highlight a piece of text and then look to change the font through
the path: format>font, the preview panel just says "sample" and not a piece
of the highlighted text, I'm sure this used to give part of the highlight as
a sample, as I am trying to find a particular number font, "sample" does not
help a great deal. What's happened and how can I preview the numbers in the
various font.
Thanks in advance

You unfortunately don't mention which version of Word you're using...

FWIW, on my installation of Word 2003, when I SELECT text, then go to
Format/Font, the selected text appears in the preview box.
