Re: msg box font

Brian
After making the change, I looked at the message box using MSWord 2003
and there was no change there. But then as I gave up and started using
my other programs, the message box has the changes. So it just didn't
change in Microsoft's programs, including windows itself which I
noticed when enabling/disabling my wireless connection. So the trick
works, but not in Microsoft I guess.
Thanks a lot Brian
