Reply To: Paragraph Styles Problem

I’m sorry, Monica, but that makes no sense to me. People use character styles to avoid losing those attributes.

Most of the time, the paragraph will keep local formatting (i.e., italic, bold, etc.) that isn’t a character style. But it will always keep that formatting if a character style is used.

The issue is that sometimes one needs to clear all formatting to a paragraph style to work properly. That is when you hold down the option key and click the paragraph style sheet name.

If you don’t have character styles applied, then any italic, bold, etc., local formatting (i.e., without character styles applied) will be lost.

The only thing you did was delete the character styles and said that whatever they were applied to will remain (i.e. italic, bold, etc.).

But I can guarantee that if you hold down the option key and click the paragraph style sheet name to clear overrides, all your italic and bold will disappear.
