Is it something that you could share? Perhaps another pair of eyes would
help. I would personally like to try; send me a copy directly if you want.

very familiar with paragraph styles. This problem continues to beat me.

I am using 6.3, vanilla ubuntu. I continue to have a lot of

Anyone got any ideas?
Your problem is obviously not direct formatting at all: it is with the
style that has been applied to this paragraph. All you have to do is to
change the font this style uses to get the font that you want.
F11 will open the Styles dialog on the right side of LIbreOffice. Make
sure that paragraph styles is selected (far left icon at the top).
Select the offending paragraph. The style that controls the attributes
of this paragraph is highlighted. Right click the style and select
"Modify..." Click the Font tab and then select the font you want to use
from the list. Close this dialog.
I have been rather detailed because I am not sure you know how to change
the properties of a style. I would also recommend (if you have not done
so already) that you download the Styles chapter in the Getting Started
Guide. The Writer Guide has one or two chapters on styles as well. It
would be a good resource.
