What might be the reason for the > change in behavior and how might it be fixed? I think this is a bug/inconsistancy of version 9. The following simplification shows the problem: Button["Courier12", SetOptions[NotebookSelection[InputNotebook[]], FontSlant -> "Plain", FontFamily -> "Courier", FontWeight -> "Plain", FontSize -> 12], Evaluator -> None ] // CreatePalette pressing the button with a selection in another notebook behaves different in version 9 to previous versions, and I think the version-9-behavior is wrong. I don't have an idea how to fix this, though... hth, albert
