Style. Text formatting not taking

[AWuser]

I've copied text from a web page (the formatting is somewhat preserved and I want to keep most of it as is). I want to change most of the text from Times New Roman 16 which it came in as to Times 12. I tried to do that by changing Body to Times 12,b ut when I apply the Style the text stays Times New Roman 16. The paragraph formating changes (2 pts before and after). I then tried creating a new Style (Body2), with Times 12 and applying it to a paragraph. Still Times New Roman 16.

Any suggestions? I've read the manual and Apple Help and don't see anything related.

Thanks
