I think that you are referring to something that it used to be in "Edit->Text Style". IIRC there was an option called "Apply previous change..." or something like it. I always found it confusing because it did not work for me if I wanted to apply it to logical/markup text styles like Code, Noun, ... Interestingly enough the feature that you mention seems to be present in the development version (2.4) in "Edit->Text Properties->Apply Last Settings". In 2,4 the logical/markup text styles are/will be in a different entry "Entry->Custom Text Styles". If my search-fu is correct this should be https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11427 I hope that this helps, -- José Abílio -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
