Users are Changing Fonts

I have noticed that users are able to change fonts when they enter text into a text field in FileMaker. In layout, I specify a specific font and font size.

But users can go into browse mode, go to Format-Font and Format-Size and they can change the font and size for each text field. I have several users doing this, which results in each record's text fields being of different fonts and sizes.

Is there any way to prohibit users from setting a different font and size while they are in browse mode?

You can set the Available Menu Commands in the privilege set to Minimal, although this restricts most menu commands.

You could also add this auto-entered calculation to the fields where this happens:

Evaluate(Quote(field))

where field is the field this is for.

Shame that you can't just speak to the users and ask them not to do it!!!!

Aaaah, those were the days!
