initial style ?
so it's like this - i'm creating a GIANT manual for my department, and i
sometimes have to copy/paste material from another source into my manual. problem: i try to change the style of the text i've pasted in, but it will not change from "Inital Style". what is that? some crazy 'hands off, i'm locked' kind of style? if anyone can help, i would be forever in your debt!! thanks, krista --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

The style you are seeing could be a character style, which overrides
the paragraph style of the paragraph. Click the arrow next to the Style box on the Formatting toolbar. Does the selected style have an underlined "a" next to it? If it does, then it's a character style. In order to remove all character styles from your document, select the entire document and then press CTRL+SPACEBAR. Note that this command also removes any direct font formatting, such as bold or italic, from the text. A safer method is to use EditReplace; choose to replace "Initial Style" with the "Default Paragraph Font" character style, which resets its formatting to that of the underlying paragraph style. -- Stefan Blom "krista " wrote: so it's like this - i'm creating a GIANT manual for my department, and i sometimes have to copy/paste material from another source into my manual. problem: i try to change the style of the text i've pasted in, but it will not change from "Inital Style". what is that? some crazy 'hands off, i'm locked' kind of style? if anyone can help, i would be forever in your debt!! thanks, krista --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |
