Default Create fields which include Character styles

I want to create a field which inserts a Style ref, but when it appears, it
also includes the character reference which has been included in the style...
i.e. It copies over the formatting exactly - whether bold or non-bold

Default Create fields which include Character styles

Toggle on the display of the fields codes using Alt+F9 and replace the
\*mergeformat switch with/or add a \* charformat switch to the field, inside
the closing field delimiter } and then apply the desired formatting to the S
of StyleRef.

Hope this helps.

thanks doug - it was a different approach to what I was thinking, but worked
nevertheless!

Cheers!
