Hello John,

>If you right-click in the MODIFY COMMAND window, you can access the Fonts and sizes via the Properties selection on the shortcut. This may not be so good, though, because it exposes other options that you may not want the users to have.

The reason of changing font to "Arial" from default "MS San Serif",I presume, was a need to run VFP6 on Windows NT 3.51 ( not officially supported combination ) , where popup menus with the default font are just garbled, including this shortcut menu. ( though was okay in VFP 5 )

Most likely it is the only alternative. But in my application for some books/tables PHD search hits are highlighted in "MODIFY Memo text NOEDIT" window and there is a need to readjust font size also.
