Hi, Tom (and Peter)
I found an old computer I was willing to test and loaded up
RH 7. I then opened Tom's project and everything works just fine.
Here is a screenshot of the Dropdown Style Box.

I applied several of the custom styles and they look good.
I'm not clear whether Tom actually performed the find and
replace or not. If you did, I am wondering if something went amiss
during the find and replace operation and munged up some of RH's
control files. (I'm grasping here.) I'll keep looking, but thought
I'd at least report that the project opens fine on my test machine.
Tom if you like, you can email me a description of the
find/replace operation you were attempting and maybe we can get a
clue.
Also, I'd be interested to know if this is XP or Vista and
whether this version of RH 7 is part of the Technical
Communications Suite or standalone (It shouldn't make a difference
but I'm just trying to get the lay of the land.) Also, was this an
"imported" css created somewhere else, or completely created using
the RH 7 Style Editor.
Sorry, you're having this glitch. Meanwhile, I really enjoy
your Tech Writing blog and I hope you're enjoying your new home in
Utah.
Thanx,
john
