Styles with the font of the underlying paragraph style
Dear Helpful Persons,
I have been using a style certain style sheet on many documents. The concept has been that when the text is marked up, programs can subsequently come along and find the marked-up text and capture it. I have been using character styles that are set to the font of the underlying paragraph style + changing the font colour so that the people working on the documents can see what parts they have marked up. I am now finding documents such that when these styles are applied, they seem to change the font to the default paragraph font for the document, and all formatting information (bold, ital etc) is lost. It appears to only happen in certain documents as opposed to certaim machines so I am thinking it must be a document setting, but I can't think what it might be. Any ideas? TIA, Tim |

Print Layout view. Fonts appear as they should, until the supposed
"underlying style" tag is applied. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Could it be that users are in Normal view using "Draft font"? -- Suzanne S.

I wanted to maintain the formatting. On other documents these tags leave the
underlying format intact - on this one, it changes it to the default font. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Applying Default Paragraph Font removes all direct font formatting. -- Suzanne S.

What is the name of the character style that you are applying?

Hi Tim, I think that's standard behaviour with all character styles: Applying any character style will remove any manual font formatting (all = Word versions, on all machines). And there isn't much you can do about it, at least not without quite a = bit of work. You could write your own macro that remembers the manual = font formatting (either all of it or special kinds such as italic and = bold), applies the character style, and reapplies the manual font = formatting.
