Hi Tim,

Yup, you are correct :) I was looking for a way to create one variable that
can be used many times to apply styling to a block of text rather than
having to run through a whole series of options each time for every
paragraph.

So at the moment let's say here are 3,000 product names being added and we
have specified a certain font, style, colour, etc. for the product names.
We have to run through a whole long list of options EVERY TIME for EACH
product name. I was looking for a more efficient way to do it.

Of course if we could create stylesheets on the fly, that would solve the
problem ... :) but we can't. (Note - we're working on an offscreen WritePro
area and building documents entirely from scratch - not using templates).
