Hi Paula,

That's "by design"...

If some kind of manual character formatting ("underline" in your case) is
applied to less than 50% of the characters in the paragraph, it's kept when
you apply another paragraph style.
If it's applied to more than 50%, it's removed.

If you apply a paragraph style to more than one paragraph, manual formatting
is removed in any case.

If you replace the current paragraph style with another paragraph style
through "Find/Replace", the manual formatting is kept (whether or not it's
applied to 50% of the text).

Admittedly, it's a bit confusing... but once you know the rules, you can
usually achieve what you want to achieve.

Regards,
Klaus

We have a style that was created that changes paragraphs to a certain line
spacing, indent, and the font to Book Antigua 12. It is a paragraph
style.

When we apply the style to an existing paragraph that contains
concentrated
underlined text on five consecutive lines of text, the underlining is
removed.
If we apply the style to an existing paragraph that contains underlined
text
and the underlined text is spread out throughout the paragraph and not on
5
consecutive lines, the underline is not removed. All of the underlined
text
reads the same.

This same problem occurs even is we apply the built-in styles from Word,
such as Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.


Thanks for any suggestions.
