What happens when you select text of your Table Grid style (to which you
never applied your character style) and press Ctrl-Spacebar?

Stefan,

Thanks for your quick replay.

I did some more tests. This time I paid more attention to which style the
Character style was applied to. My experience was the following:
- When Character style is applied to a Paragraph style type, removing the
Character style made the text go back to the initial formatting of the
Paragraph style.
- When Character style is applied to text in a table (of the style Table
Grid),
removing the Character style made the text go back to its initial colour,
but
the font-family changed to Arial (from Times New Roman) and text size
changed to 11pt (from 10pt).

Does this make more sence? Should I use another style than Table Grid
inside
tables to avoid this problem in tables?

Are you sure that the underlying paragraph style is correctly formatted?
If so, it should suffice to select the text and press Ctrl+SpaceBar to
reset its font formatting.

In my document I want to emphasize text for evaluation that other
persons
shall find easily. Thereafter I want to be able to easily remove the
emphasize so that the text regains its initial formatting.

To solve this, I've made a style of type Character and changed its
colour to
red. I marked som text (in Times New Roman, 10pt, black) with that
character
style. The text changed from black to red, while keeping the
font-family and
size of the Paragraph style, as expected.
Thereafter I deleted the Character style to see if the marked text
regained
its initial format. The text colour went back to black, but the
font-family
and size became Arial and 11pt respectively. How can I get Word to
give a
text marked with a Character style the style of its Paragraph style
when I
delete the Character style?

Regards,
Sverre
