Message: [QUOTE="Jeff Wiseman, post: 6889796"] This is all directly related to the question and issues I brought up earlier in the thread "Paragraph selection and Style application anomalies" that I started back on 22 Nov 2008. These all appear to be related to the same inconsistent handling of pargraph and character styles-especially relative to RTF type formatting. I would find it rather appalling if these were actually "New" bugs since I have been running into them constantly at least since Word 2003 and Mac office 2004. When a person finally decides to try and use styles properly, these inconsistancies are so fundamental to the issue of formatting in styles that they tend to completely undermine any attempts to use both character and paragraph formatting together. I really don't care whether a paragraph style will blow away overriding character styles or not when they are applied--so long as it is CONSISTENT in the behavior so that automations can be developed and newbies can be tutored in the use of styles in a time frame that doesn't have to be described in terms of "generations"! Oh Santa, please give me a tool that does what I tell it to do and DOESN'T assume that I'm a stark, raving idiot (regardless of what others may have said) by changing everything I've done into something that it presumes I was trying to do. And if I must have such a tool, at least give me the ability to turn off these totally incorrect and presumptuous algorithms so it doesn't continue to INTERFERE with my work flow. I'll be a good boy--honest! [/QUOTE]
