Because the font in those words had direct formatting applied to it, which
over-rides to formatting of the style.

Thanks Doug.
But why did Word not change the font size after I applied the Style to it?

To remove directly applied font formatting so as to return the text to

formatting as defined in the style, select the text and then use

To add on: I know I can just select the words and change the font to 10
manually.
But I'm interested to find out why the size won't change by applying a
style
to it.

I am using Word 2000.
I inherited a document and started setting up formats for my own
styles,
particularly Normal. I then used the format brush to change certain
paragraphs to Normal. One paragraph is not behaving as expected. The
whole
paragraph has been changed to Normal, i.e. Arial 10 but the last 2
words
are
size 12. I have tried applying the Normal style directly to the whole
paragraph and to the last 2 words only but the size just won't change.
Any help?
