Problem applying styles in Word
Brand new document, cleared all formatting, created two different styles, did
not save to template. Applied style 1 to paragraph 1, applied style 2 to paragraph 2. Worked fine. Ditto to the following 2 paragraphs. Then when I apply style 1 to paragraph 5, it's wrong, even when I (with the paragraph highlighted) look in Formatting:Paragraph, or Styles, and it indicates the correct parameters. What the frell?? I have now spent hours on one stupid, short, simple document. I am --- or thought I was --- a seasoned Word user. I use Quark, Illustrator, TeX, XML. This is ridiculous. |

Problem applying styles in Word
If you're using a recent version of Word, make sure that when you apply the
style to the paragraph you either have the selection collapsed to a point (that is, you just click in the paragraph without selecting anything) or you have the entire paragraph selected. Otherwise Word applies your paragraph style to selected text as character formatting. -- Suzanne S.

Problem applying styles in Word
There could be direct formatting in the paragraph overriding the
settings of the style. Select the problem paragraph, and then do the following: press Ctrl+SpaceBar to remove font formatting not in style, and press Ctrl+Q to remove paragraph formatting not in style. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Kate" wrote in message ...
