Ah, that sounds like it could be the explanation; thank you for clearing 
that up for me :-)

It is possible that there is some direct formatting applied to the text.

Among other things, what determine the final look of text, it first
apply the paragraph style, then the character style, then the direct
formatting. Those two can be changed independently. For example,
applying the bold attribute by hand (using the B button in the toolbars)
change the direct formatting. If you then apply a style, it will not
override the direct formatting of the text.

Usually, if using styles correctly, you shouldn't apply attributes by
hand *at all*. To check if this is the issue, you can delete direct
formatting quickly by selecting the text, and use the "Format->Delete
direct formatting" menu (or something like that; I'm not sure about the
english UI, but it's the first command in the "Format" menu).

I have on several occasions been annoyed by something in LO - just a
small thing, but none the less: Normally, when you apply a style,
like a header style, it sets the typeface etc, but sometimes it doesn't.

I think it happens in situations like this: I write a section of
text, apply some character formatting (eg. bold or a different
font), then decide to break the section up and insert a heading in
between - and it "doesn't work", ie the font doesn't change etc. Why
is that?

Is this the way it should be, or is it a bug? If it is a feature,
what am I doing wrong?
