Last week while waiting for my plane to takeoff from Newark airport, I was thinking I was going to start running out of new things to post but I'm finding out that won't be true anytime soon because I keep running into new little things all the time. Currently most of my posts aren't super technical but more general things but that's only because that's the phase the current project is in.
Enough of me jabbering and onto what I wanted to post about for this time, while over the past month designing these forms one thing that I've noticed is the font size is not always correctly being set through the InfoPath designer. The buttons are probably the most common control that I have the problem with and I'm not 100 percent sure why but it's just something I've noticed. Usually once the form has been graphically designed I do a "ctrl + A" key combination to select everything in the view and then change the font type and size and then go through and change all headings to a bigger font size and I'm done. Well I've found out this approach isn't full proof and even if the font size in the designer says it's a certain size that's not always true. Once I recognize it's not the correct size I change it to a different font size and then back to the original font size and then it sets correctly.
That's all I really wanted to say and I know that's not much but it's something I've had to keep an eye on with all the forms that we are building and it's a pain in my side. Some of you might not think it's a big deal but there is nothing worse than showing a new form to a client and then the client pointing out not all font sizes aren't the same.
Cheers
