Unable to change style format
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? |

Unable to change style format
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. "Melissa" wrote: I am using Word 2000.

To remove directly applied font formatting so as to return the text to the
formatting as defined in the style, select the text and then use Ctrl+Spacebar. -- Hope this helps.

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

Because the font in those words had direct formatting applied to it, which
over-rides to formatting of the style. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

If you had selected just those two words and applied the style to them, they
would have been changed to the font as defined in the style. If however you select the whole paragraph and re-apply the style to the paragraph, the direct formatting that has been applied to those words is not affected. -- Hope this helps.

Unable to change style format
If the Chinese IME is enabled on your computer, or a Chinese font
somehow got installed, Ctrl-Spacebar will flip you into Chinese (it's a Windows shortcut that Word can't override). It's safer always to use Ctrl-Shift-Z to remove directly applied font formatting.
