PM52977: FONT SIZE DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN TABLE PROPERTIES, CELL PROPERTIES AND FORMATTING TOOLBAR

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You work with IBM SPSS Statistics 20 and generate pivot tables.
  In the Output Viewer you double click on the table and click
  "Format > Table Properties". On the Cell Formats tab you change
  the default font Sans Serif (9pt) to another font and size, e.g.
  Times New Roman with font size 16pt and apply it to your table.
  
  Then you right click on any of the data cells in the table and
  select Cell properties and the "Font and Background" tab and
  notice that the font is displayed as Times New Roman with size
  21pt instead of 16pt.
  If you click on "View > Toolbar" while a cell in the table is
  highlighted you see another font size e.g. 12pt than the one you
  have selected on Table Properties.
  With the dropdown on formatting toolbar or cell properties
  dialog if you select the font size you initially defined on
  table properties (e.g.16 pt) you get a smaller font size in the
  highlighted table cell, so there are font size discrepancies for
  table cells on these different dialogs.
  
  This issue was reported to IBM SPSS Development. It is expected
  to be addressed with IBM SPSS Statistics FixPack 1.
