That's the odd thing. From my experience (2.3.1/XP), paragraph formatting /doesn't/ clear character formatting - an example is trivial to concoct. I've been irritated for some weeks over this, having found no way to clear such character formatting (on one piece of text I ended up doing a cut and paste-special just to get rid of what I'd evidently applied at some stage). The interaction of paragraph styles, character styles and explicit setting of character properties doesn't seem terribly well defined, at least from the user's perspective :-( -- http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
