1. Re: ID CS5 - Paragraph styles continually overridden
L Hickle Jul 27, 2011 8:22 AM (in response to L Hickle)I did a little more testing. If I open up a previously-used document (from several weeks ago), and try the copy-paste, the style works as it should, and the text comes in Minion. If I open up the new template I made yesterday, however, I first get an error that Times (TT) is missing. I thought, AHA — there's where I can set the document's default to Minion, right? So I changed that. But when I tried the paste it did it AGAIN. It is determined to use Times!
I wonder if I should actually create the template in CS4, and then open it in CS5, and see if it works any better. Off to check ...

2. Re: ID CS5 - Paragraph styles continually overridden
P Spier Jul 27, 2011 8:39 AM (in response to L Hickle)Check the type spects in Basic Paragraph as well as in the Character panel with nothing selected, and make sure that [None] is selected in the Character Styles panel..

3. Re: ID CS5 - Paragraph styles continually overridden
L Hickle Jul 27, 2011 9:15 AM (in response to P Spier)I even set [Basic Paragraph] to match the incoming style I wanted — and had the Character Style set to [none] — and Times overrode it again. It's determined, if nothing else!
I may have solved the most pressing issue, however. I opened up a month-old newspaper file and repurposed that into a template. The copy-paste thing worked. It doesn't explain the cause of the problem, but at least it's a work-around. I'll just keep 20- and 24-page versions available depending on which size I'll need.
It's still a head-scratcher though.
