   Thanks John,I think I've probably made some mistake in setting up the whole template and not just the text element. I'd copied it from another and then scaled up from A3 to A2 and A1, although I'm having probs with all of them. I'm going to start again and see what happens.
Thanks anyway
Stephen

	I cannot come up with a reasonable explanation for why that should happen or even how it could happen. My quick test did not encounter any such problem. I created the text in model space using MText then did a copy/paste to a layout in a totally different drawing. All formatting was retained. Attach a copy of the text, or portion thereof, you are having problems with to your next post. Edited by John Connor - 05.Nov.2014 at 18:31

	What is a "type-written element"? Is it Text or MText or is it something you created in MS Word then cut and pasted into the drawing?

	I have various sheet templates in both .DWT and .DWG format. In both formats the sheets look fine; however, when I bring the (.dwg) template into another drawing by means of the layout tab, the type-written elements on the sheet lose all of their formatting. The drawn element - the sheet size - appears OK. Any idea what might be causing the hiccup? Regards
