Hi all...
Minor problem that I've been "working-around" for a long time now, but this AM, it just finally hit me to try to search out a solution. I'm currently using FM 11 (in Windows 7), but this has been an issue as far back as FM 7.
In a Bulleted List-type paragraph style, if I apply a Character Style to it, it seems to be "stuck" with that style -- Attempts to highlight it and set it back to the "Default (Paragraph Symbol) Font" Character Style don't work. My work around has been to:
This resets the Character Style to the Default Font, but it's kind of a pain.
Any ideas on why this is the case?
Thanks a lot,
- Chris
When applying a character tag, if you also include the end-of-paragraph mark (the pilcrow symbol "¶"), then FM will modify the paragraph tag to include the new character formats as a paragraph override. If you then have the (bulleted) paratag defined without the "Nxt Pgf Tag" selected with the name of the current tag (i.e. bulleted), then FM will continue to apply the paratag with the overrides.

Succinctly stated, Arnis :-} Can't remember what the special case was, but a while back I had a document where I left a space at the end of each {special case} bullet just to make life easier …

Niels... I've now been doing the same thing as well (and just highlight the text prior to the space and apply the character style). While this works, it too is a bit tedious. I guess in the "age of self-entitlement" we seem to live in, I just wanted Frame to work "the way I want it to work". Heh heh heh. Thanks Arnis for the quick reply on this!

After I've had to do this {enough} times for the same information, I give in and create a new style :-}
