The DTM for iSeries MS Word UI uses RTF to communicate with MS Word. The problem when changing the font size is a known bug in MS Word 2000/XP: “Changes to the fontsize of a character style aren’t saved when using RTF as output format”. There is a work around on Word XP, if you use the ‘Font ‘ dialog your changes get saved (the bug only occurs when you use the ‘Modify style’ dialog).
