Styles
As I understand it, all styles are based on the Normal style. So, if I want
to make a change throughout the document (e.g., font, etc...), I normally change my Normal style. Lately, I've noticed that, while modifying a document, if I decide I want everything to be full justification and change Normal to full justification, my other styles don't change. They remain left justified. Any reason why this is happening? Shouldn't those styles' justification change when I change Normal? (p.s. I check the styles being used and they are ALL based on Normal) Thanks in advance ) |

Styles
Whether changes in one style are propagated to another style based on it
seems to depend on whether or not the other style has already been used/modified. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...esCascade.html for (possibly) more information. -- Suzanne S.

The article didn't really help because Normal is the parent style. Any other
ideas? Thanks in advance ) "Suzanne S.

Styles
As I say, if the style has already been used, you may have to apply the
formatting to the style directly; it doesn't always "trickle down" when you change the base style, especially if you've modified the style in any way. -- Suzanne S.
