Default Styles won't stick

Hi Stephan -- this is a bit late, but a big THANK YOU! I didn't know that direct formatting could override an automatic
style. I also learned about ^f. So the Footnote Reference style controls the style of the Footnote Text? Is that why the
style for Footnote Text doesn't show up in the Styles drop-down box?

There could be direct formatting applied to the footnotes, overriding the
font formatting of the style. In Normal view, click View | Footnotes. Select
the footnote area and press Ctrl+SpaceBar to reset font formatting. The
correct font size should now be applied to text.

Then use Find and Replace to reapply the Footnote Reference character style
to the footnote number: Press Ctrl+H to display the Find and Replace dialog
box.

Find what: ^f

Place the insertion point inside the "Replace with" box and click Format,
Style. Locate Footnote Reference, and click OK.

Finally, click Replace All.
