Nick,
Rick asked: By chance were the affected topic(s) imported
from Word?
Is this a common factor (even though it may not happen to
every topic imported from Word)?
When you apply the template, do you
1. Have the topic open and apply the template in the
properties dialog?
2a. Have the topic closed and go to the properties dialog
from the left frame?
2.b. Have the topic open and go to the properties dialog from
the left frame?
3. Have the topic closed and go to the properties dialog from
the Topics (right) frame?
4. Select several topics and go to the properties dialog to
batch-apply the template?
4a. If batch applying, do you click Apply, then OK, or
4b. do you click OK only, or
4c. do you click Apply, then (not clicking OK) close the
dialog using the X box at top right?
Does the problem occur most often (but not necessarily
always) when you use one of these methods but not others?
