Thank you, Jean. We will try that.

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.


Create a a character style that applies underlining - Char_Under.
Use the Find/Replace to look for underlined text, replace it with No
underline + your new character style (Char_Under).
Then, when you will apply the paragraph styles, the underlining will stick,
regardless of the % of the paragraph being underlined.
