Copying text

[kendrew]

iMac G5/Tiger 10.4.2/AppleWorks 6.2.9.

I cannot read the default Helvetica 12 on screen. It is too cluttered and compressed. I have changed preferences to Verdana 12 - much better spacing and easy to read.
However, when I copy and paste text from other parts of the same document or other documents with Verdana or other font, the ensuing paste defaults back to Helvetica.
Is there any setting or work around to override this?

Your advice is appreciated.

Kendrew,

Don't regard it as a sin. I only point out the possibility of searching for future reference.
