trouble applying formatting styles
Please help! I have three problems when trying to apply styles to paragraphs:
1. When I apply a paragraph format style to text, it will change to that style, but in the format window it will list it as "Normal + Ariel + etc...." instead of listing it as my saved style that I applied. Therefore, if I make a change to my saved style, this text won't update. 2. Sometimes I apply a new style and nothing happens. It remains the current style. 3. If I managed to clear the style and get it to the default Normal style, then I am usually able to apply my desired style. HOWEVER, I keep running into this problem: When I clear a style, it doesn't go back to the default Normal style. It will go back to the "Normal + centered" or whatever the alignment currently is. This means I am back to my number 1. and 2. problems! |

When you apply a paragraph style to a paragraph, click inside the paragraph
