Point is local formatting. I want to use character styles as local change for some exactly set of text attributes without touching other text attributes. Imagine that workflow: I would like to define character style "Warnings" as bolded font and red fill. And I would like have abbility to apply such character style for some portion of text in headers, in lids, in story body, in photos captions... -so in every text with different paragraph styles, but only change font and fill color - not changing font size, tracking/kerning, glyph extenstion and all other char attributes I dont defining in char style definition. Of cource if I change that "warning" char style (eg set underline) it will change in all places where that char style was used. But again - only that attributes change which I set in char style definition. I think character styles should working that way. At least in that way too. cezaryece
