Does anyone know why CTRL+Q is not removing direct formatting from a paragraph?

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Ctrl+Q should remove direct paragraph formatting and Ctrl+Spacebar direct
font formatting.

It should but it isn't working. I have a paragraph that I applied a style
to. Over that style, I directly applied bold and italic formatting. I then
selected the paragraph and pressed Ctrl+Q, but the bold and italic formatting
remained. I tried it with the paragraph mark both selected and deselected.

Trudy,

Note that bold and italic are font properties and not paragraph properties.
Therefore, you need to use Ctrl+Spacebar (instead of Ctrl+Q) to remove the
formatting.

Direct formatting of space before, space after, alignment, etc. (properties
specified via the Paragraph dialog box) can be removed using Ctrl+Q.

Thank you Suzanne, that is very clear now indeed.

Is there a way to remove both paragraph and character direct formatting, while keeping both paragraph and character styles?

(Ctrl + space remove the character styles).
