form text field wont change font size word 2007

[dlb1228]

I have read the other discussion this issue? But it does not make any sense
to me. I had a previously made a fill in form in a different version of
word, i found how to edit it by protecting and unprotecting the doc. The
font is set to comic sans MS, and when i fill in the fields, it makes them
another font and style? How do i get them to be the same font as the rest of
the document. Can someone put this in English for me? Thanks

You will have to apply the formatting to the text paragraph before inserting
the field.

Unprotect the form template, delete the fields, apply formatting, and then
reinsert the fields.

When you say apply formatting, does that mean jus highlight the area that you
want to place the form field and go to the home tab and select the font and
type you want? or is there some other way? I have tried this and it still
does not work?

Yes, that should work.

I've tried that multiple times (deleting the fields and formatting then
reinserting the fields) and it still reverts to a different font/size when I
go to fill in the protected form. Is there any other way???

Nevermind, I just figured it out. Sorry.
