Change style-Manual formatting goes away ..sometimes
Greetings,
Problem: On a paragraph that has manually formatting for a word(s), i.e. the font for the word(s) is changed to bold. When I change the style the manual formatting disappears ...... sometimes. Sometimes the manual formatting remains. It seems to be random. Question: How do I maintain my manual formatting of words when I change a style ... all of the time Thanks |

Hello-
As I understand your post, what is happening is completely normal. Applying a Style to a para is essentialy the same as saying "reformat the para _this_ way instead of how it is now". Since most custom & built-in styles are based on 'Normal', the characters are reformatted accordingly (or as the style dictates) when the style is applied. Since Bold, Italics, etc. aren't a part of the Normal style, they are, in effect, removed, unless included in the style. If included, however, _all_ text in the para will be bolded, etc. One sure-fire way to avoid what you perceive as a problem is to apply your formatting 'from the outside in' rather than 'from the inside out'... In other words, apply your styles first, then make specific local changes directly to the text that needs to be modified.
