Reply To: Paragraph Styles Problem

There are a couple of options to avoid that, but it would mean that any other local formatting would be lost.

1) With the paragraph selected (anywhere in the text) hold down the option key when clicking on the style sheet. That overrides any other formating and it will come in as the right font and size.

2) Go to your ID preferences and go to the pasteboard preferences. Select text only. That way, when you copy and paste it will be text only with no formatting, and then you can make it the style sheet you want.

I’m guessing you are copying and pasting from a Word file?
