Does applying the style not enforce character formatting even if you select
the text before applying it? In Word 2007 there is a change in handling
"linked styles" (the ones that are both character and paragraph), and this
may be a factor. Unfortunately, that is an issue I don't fully understand
(though I know there is a setting that governs the treatment of "linked
styles").

Yes, pressing the Ctl-space bar works. Thank you.
I see now where the style type is indicated in the style setup window as
Character or Parragraph. It would be helpful if that were indicated on the
block displays of the styles.
Also, I seem to remember that Normal would enforce both parragraph and
character formatting in previous versions of Word. It is marked as a
Parragraph style. One would thing it would be a Character style or both.
Can a style enforce both parragraph and character formatting? I've tried
to
do this with a new style I defined and I cannot create a style that will
override a Character style unless I call it a Character style and that
type
of style cannot be based off of Normal.

The style you mention is probably a character style, which is applied on
top
of the paragraph style. You can remove direct font formatting (including
character styles) by selecting the text and pressing Ctrl+Spacebar.
(Ctrl+Q
will reapply the style.)

In Word 2007, type some text. Then highlight the text and apply a
style,
e.g
sub-reference. The text will now have bold and a color applied to it.
Now,
let's say you want to revert the text to Normal. So, highlight the
text,
select Normal style and the text does not change back to normal. You
need
to
manually unselect the color and the bold font. Why doesn't selecting
Normal
revert the text back to the original Normal style?
