      Please allow synchronized text frames to be styled in the same manner at a standard text frames. It introduces an unnecessary level of complexity to make several synchronized text frames just to change color or font size.

       

      Thanks.

          If you select "Window>Arrange>Tile" you can have a sort of "split-screen" view and drag and drop content across from one version to another (ie Desktop to Phone); drag, hover and wait for the cursor icon to change and then drop. Synchronised text retains the styling of the original. Simples. Not as straight-forward as it perhaps SHOULD be, I agree, but it's one way to do it for now. Would just be easier if the copy/paste approach or whatever triggered a pop-out or pop-up to ASK if we want to retain the style, or style from scratch. At least that way the few people who'd want to style from scratch can, but for the majority of us, we at least get to choose without having to switch view and drag/drop.

           

          Anyway, hope that helps.

           

          I honestly think they were just too excited to share the new features with us so they kinda skipped over UX and bug-testing... Encountered a number of WEIRD bugs/glitches in these last few updates...

            Thanks for the tip about Tiling but it doesn't seem to address my styling issue.

             

            In a synced text frame, if I select a few words and then change their color, all the text in the frame changes color, selected or not. Odd.
