RCM and Changing Fonts in Word

RCM uses the default Word font regardless of the font used in the paragraph.

For information about changing the default font go to Change the default font in Word.

Using more than one font If you are using more than one font in your document, the following is recommended:

  • When document writing has been completed, apply the desired fonts to all text sections
  • Place the cursor in text that has the font you want to use for the citations and bibliography
  • Update the document via RCM by pressing the Refresh button
