    In CS5, I have prepared a template with lots of paragraph styles and character styles. If I place a file, all text is given a particular character style (let's call it “style_4”). Why?
    After opening the template, and before clicking anywhere but on the Character styles panel, I can see that “style_4” is selected. I have no idea why this is so; I would expect to see character style “[None]” marked in the panel. And since there is no text in the template formated with “style_4”, ID tells me, not surprisingly, that it cannot find it.
    I have saved the template as IDML and opened it again, without success.
    Has anybody encountered this problem as well? How deal with it?

    Something has to be selected in the character style panel when saving (and in all other panels as well). Instead of pondering the why's and how's, simply open the template (as original), click “[None]”, then save the template again. Problem gone.

    I use this feature all the time when creating templates; just before saving, I pre-select all the useful stuff, so everything is set up correctly when I open as a copy to work from.

    What a simple solution – and it works! Thank you for sharing this with me, the problem is gone indeed.
