Styles
Hi Terry
What I find is that often *part* of a document is set to the wrong language,
possibly manually rather than by applying any style.
To test my attempted solution, I deliberately set a paragraph or two to a
'wrong' language (not using styles), and then try to apply my style (and
right language) to the whole document.
I wanted my style to override any such individual language settings and
force the whole document to my chosen language. This is what it doesn't do.
I currently have to go through the whole document (a terrible job of it's a
full-length work of 80,000 words!) and individually reset the spurious
'wrong' languages.
Any way round this apart from 'find'?

And the missing ingredient is which styles? If the original document has
used default style names, then this will work fine, but the creator may
have deliberately used new style names to make automatically changing the
styles difficult. In that instance, you either need to edit these styles
or apply your own template and then go through and replace the original
styles with your styles. This can be done using Find and Replace.

OK. I need some help here. I'm trying to get into styles. Previously I
would look at a raw file, typically single spaces, US English, Times New
Roman and to prepare it I would select all then change the font to Arial,
paragraphs to 1.5 spacing, Select Australian English.
Now I believe I should be able to do that by creating a new style
embodying all the above, and then simply applying the style to each raw
document (going select all and then choosing the style). However,the raw
documents I look at have their styles already attached, and I now cannot
find my new style in the list. What am I doing wrongly?
