Reply To: Text turns red when replaced

Hi guys, so sorry I didn’t get right back to you. It wasn’t the pink highlight, it was the red character style – I just want to know why sometimes InDesign DOES these weird things (I presume it misreads a Word code, since the text is not red in the Word doc) – and why when I click on a paragraph style, it doesn’t simply put in the instruction from the style instead of being overridden by other codes? I think it’s a real failing. When one applies a paragraph style, THAT is what should happen. As it was, I had to do a workaround, blocking a bunch of text and then clicking on “None” in the Character Styles box.

Thanks for the suggestions! Much appreciated. :)
