One of the last words about Style Aplications.

[Nohjekim]

After reading the comments here I went back to my job and tried this experiment.

I typed the headline "BIG BOB".

I then made the word Big in bold and the work Bob in regular.

Now I applied my style to it.

Yes they switched, the word Big became regular and the word Bob became bold.

Though I can't say for sure it must be that I had already made the heads bold before applying style to it so it became regular and added the plus sign.

I think that now that I understand it I can avoid this in the future.

I think that it might be nice if they would fix it so that the styles command takes precedent over other formatting; at least that makes sense to me.

After all it is the styles command.

Mike,

Glad you figured it out... I knew it had to be something to do with mixed formatting. Your suggestion makes sense about styles taking precedence, but I wouldn'y hold my breath... LOL. When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.

This is what I said in Horqua's post on the same issue:

"What may be happening is that you have already bolded some of the text and when you apply the style which includes bolding in its definition, you are effectively bolding twice, which PM interprets as 'unbold'. The little + sign on the style happens when you change something within text that has had that style applied to it".
