Changing paragraph formatting of style
I changed the paragraph formatting of a style, HEADING 6, to 'keep with
next'. However, paragraphs that are based on HEADING 6 have not been changed to 'keep with next'. When I look at the description of HEADING 6 on the styles and formatting taskbar, it clearly shows that 'keep with next' is active, but if I select a paragraph in my document that is based on HEADING 6 and select paragraph off the format menu, 'keep with next' is not specified. I have even tried changing the paragraph to another style and then changing it to HEADING 6, but it does not seem to "take" |

Changing paragraph formatting of style
If you select the errant paragraph and press Ctrl+Space, does it now work?

Changing paragraph formatting of style
When you make a change to a style shouldn't a paragraph the is defeined with
that style contain the change that was made to the style. It doesn't seem logical to me to have to select the paragraph and apply the same change to the paragrpah that you just made to the style when the paragraph is defined by the style you just changed. Maybe I am missing your question or maybe I don't understand styles "Graham Mayor" wrote: On reflection that should have been CTRL+Q (reset paragraph) -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Graham Mayor wrote: If you select the errant paragraph and press Ctrl+Space, does it now work?

Changing paragraph formatting of style
What you're describing, though, is not changed to the style itself but
changes to the styles based on it. I find that this can be very unpredictable, but see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...esCascade.html -- Suzanne S.
