[Solved] Different font look at the same font setting

Post by brohatwack »

I pasted one piece of text to writer from one webpage, than pasted another piece from other webpage and set font for the whole document to Times New Roman size 11, but text that is copied from the first webpage looks in style the same, yes, just a bit bolder, than the other text from the other webpage in the same document all the same font type and size looks like a bit tinny. Is there any way how to change the whole file into the EXACT same stile as the text from the first webpage is?

Picture of the problem (look at the paragraph at the top and then paragraph at the bottom carefully):

I would try this. Highlight all of the text, and then select the Clear Formatting option from the Apply Styles drop down, and then re-apply the format/style you want.

Cutting and pasting from web pages always throws up quirks of this type.

Better paste as unformatted text (long click on the Paste icon or click its little arrow).

Please add '[Solved]' at the beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

Another thing that I would try for this is select the text from the first website with the more bolded text, click the Format Paintbrush button, and then highlight the text from the second website and that should do it also. :)

:super:

That worked just nicely. I was unaware about format brush function, but useful to know, all the best.
