Seems it's time to put the lights on... I wanted to write:

"I don't know if it's an overArchingTextStyle property somewhere, but a simple way to homogeneize the text of a field is

put the text of fld "x" into fld "x" . So you get rid of any chunk formatting"

Do they still sell Ten thumbs, at RunRev ?
