Hi Diane:
A recorded macro stores only "what you do". If you did not explicitly set
the font and its size while recording, that information will not be stored,
and the result will appear in whatever font is under the insertion point
when the macro begins.
The macro does not store mouse movements: you have to move using the cursor
keys if you want to store this in a macro.
And, I think you are getting a little confused between "Returns" and
"Paragraph marks". A Paragraph mark stores font and spacing information, a
Return does not. Which one were you using?
I would follow Suzanne's suggestion: make it an AutoText (or a template). A
macro is not the simplest way to do this. You "could" do it with a macro,
but it's complicated.

I created a letterhead at the top of a blank document so that it could be

create a letter on this and it's ready to email). I widened the left/right
margins; changed the top/bottom margins; put the company name within a one
row/one column table so that the bottom line is the only line showing; went
below that table, changed the size and superscripted the font to put in the
address and telephone numbers; put a return; changed the font back to the
original size and unchecked the superscript; inserted a continuous page
break, and added one more return. Now I've been asked to make it a macro.
I'm using the fonts that I used when I just put it on a document but when I'm
recording it for the macro the font is enlarged by 3-4 sizes. Why?
