As per my previously (unanswered question) I'm exploring a different path.

Is it possible to force MS Word to ignore the font size within a file and apply its own when the file is being opened? I understand this could get messy (registry hacks etc) but I would like to know of its feasibility.

  • It is possible in Word to find and replace fonts either manually or with VBA, would something on these lines suit? – Fionnuala Feb 02 '11 at 09:47

Put the following code in a code module of the document, or code module in a template attached or opened by the document:

Public Sub AutoOpen()
    ActiveDocument.Range.Font.Size = 20
End Sub

ForEachLoop's answer is about right, there is no way to launch word in such a way as to cause it to replace fonts, or any other formatting. You'll have to launch an autostart macro of some sort to reformat the doc automatically.
