My Wordfast Classic has developed an irritating new habit. Whenever I insert a term from the glossary, whatever I type after that is in a different font and font size. For example, the document I am working on at present is in Verdana size 10, but as soon as I insert a term it shifts to Times New Roman size 12, so I'm constantly having to correct the formatting.

Any ide how I correct this?

Which version of WFC, and which version of Word?

Bugs similar to this one have plagued older versions of WFC. I can't remember how I fixed it, though.

You can try to edit the font that is used for your Normal style (change it to the same font as that of the document). This is not a solution but just a workaround that sometimes work... after all, a single document can contain multiple fonts.

You can ask your question on the three WFC mailing lists:
https://wordfast.groups.io (unofficial) and Yves is not on this list
https://wordfast-classic.groups.io (official, but non-beta)
https://wfc-beta.groups.io (official, beta)
