I'm not sure what you mean by go back to the form and preview it. From your source files, where you made the change, right click manifest.xsf. Select design - and preview to see your changes. If they are to your liking, use file, save as to save the form files as a template again. Some manual view changes do get overwritten the next time you change the view in the designer - if I recall correctly, the time in the past I did this (I changed the font color of the "insert" widget for a repeating table) I didn't have any trouble with this.

You are wise beyound your years. Indeed I had. I see now when I double click the xml or xsf files that the font has changed. However, if I go back to the form and preview it, the font reverts to "normal". Am I therefore correct that I will have to manually change the font each and ever time this same way?

Do you have the form open while trying to change the view file?

I *think* I found the right place to save them as Source Files by going to the backstage | Publish | Export Source files. I then opened the view1.xsl in Notepad. I change the font size from 9 to 20 at the .optionalPlaceholder line. However, when I try to save it I get an error message that says:

Cannont create the [MyPathInHere]\view1.xsl file. Make sure that the path and filename are correct. I'm sure that is correct. What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it?

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick reply. I went to my form in 2010 designer and did a "Save As" but there is no choice to save as source files. How do I do that? Thanks!

I've done this by manually modifying the view file before. Save your form as source files and then open the view file in a text editor - in the screenshot below, I found the .optionalPlaceholder style and upped the font to 20.

I know how to change the "Click here to insert" text in an optional group, but I want to change the font, and especially, the font size of that text so the "Click here" text is much larger. I can't fnd any way to do that. Is it possible?
