Hence, text in our title block does not fit and now overlap each other. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Examples. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Preferred text font – size 5 Arial narrow.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><img width=243 height=49 style='width:2.5312in;height:.5104in' id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image002.png@01D46610.62763190"><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>After saving the template then re-opening it to make a new map the same text has reverted to size 6 Arial non-narrow.
