    'CHAR' appearing in stylenames

    OK, so you're saying that in a paragraph styled n-Para such as : sfsdf skhkshdf shfksjhf s shfsdhf s kshfd skhf because I've styled shfksjhf bold that the para name should change to 'n-Para CHAR' - so no manual formatting is recommended? doesn't make sense I'm afraid

    Perhaps you should stick to painting! and even then, don't give up your day job. Anyone have anything more constructive?

    'CHAR' appearing in stylenames

    HI I have a problem where styles when manually formatted, have their names changed to include 'CHAR' or 'CHAR CHAR'. eg, a style 'n-Para' when maually formatted becomes 'n-Para CHAR' which is causing us a number of problems. Does anyone know if there's a fix for this? Thanks in advance Harky
