anyone recognize this code?

anyone recognize this code - or can explain what it is? It is embedded (hidden) in my Microsfit Office "Word" document:

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

/* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;mso-style-noshow:yes;mso-style-priority:99;mso-style-qformat:yes;mso-style-parent:"";mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;mso-para-margin-top:0in;mso-para-margin-right:0in;mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;}

 

Welcome to the MG Forums!

There are lots of formatting information hidden in Word (and other Office) documents.

Do you need to know what all of that means?

 

Here is a good Microsoft link that may be of use to you:

Be sure to clink the blue text links prefixed with a "+" sign for more details on each area...

 

Not if it is standard...but if there is malicious code there or something not part of the Microsft base. One problem I have is the default settings (font, size etc) seems to be controlled by this...No matter how often I reset them - the font will be at the smallest size...almost invisible.

Thanks for thoughts

First, what is your Office version?

And what do you mean by "default font size" - when starting a new Word doc, or when modifying an existing doc?

From where did you extract that style definition: from a Word document, or from a Word template? The font size specified in that code is 11.0

 

I used the blank Word Doc as a spell checker and used the cut and paste while commenting on-line (LA times) the code appeared only when I pasted it but it was not visible when using the Word document.

Thanks for looking...this is an annoyance more than anything...kind of a Brat virus of sorts?
