Reply To: Character style on a template

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.
