Thanks Richard for your rapid reply.
I (now) understand that Word does its own thing (unusual for Microsoft ).
I tried your suggestions - checked the font in Notepad and it appears as normal, also BBCWin font is listed here. A simple program to show Courier New 12-point in the output window gives the display I am used to.
I have tried rebooting the computer, going to BB4W system fixed font and back again, and everything else you have suggested and I can think of, but Courier New remains the same in the Editor window.
I know this is a very minor point, and everything else works perfectly, I just found Courier New particularly easy on the eye when programming and I was hoping to understand what had changed (even if I could not correct it).
Cheers.

On this Windows 8.1 laptop I'm using Courier New 11pt Bold. Without the bold setting it's a bit 'thin' (partly because of ClearType being off).
Many people think ClearType is awful, but if you actually prefer it (and don't worry about or don't notice the highlighting problem) the cheat is to set the editor font using your trial version of v5.94 or v5.95 rather than v6.00!

Thanks again Richard. I tried previously to get back to my preferred Courier New 12 point on v5.94a(trial) and it didn't work. After reading your reply I tried again and it worked, also correct on v6.00a(full). (I'm not sure why it wouldn't work first time but work on second try.)
