    I’m typesetting a journal which has various styles for titles, subheads, indented text, etc. The indented paragraphs are quotes from different sources and are footnoted. The other styles apply fine – body text, subheads, first paragraphs, etc. but I’ve realized that any paragraph with a footnote is not taking on the style properly. It indents, but the font it not correct.

    When I override with Alt, I lose my italics.
    Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

    Thanks!

    First of all, I virtually never use the Alt/Option-click to remove formatting anymore. I just click the Remove Local Overrides button. Here’s how to do it and keep your italics:

    The Power Styles (part of Blatner Tools or the DTP Cloud service) plug-in from DTPtools.com includes a “remove local overrides” feature that lets you specify exactly which formatting you want to remove and which you want to keep.

    David, as usual, has saved the day :)

    (Wondering why I never did this before…)
