It is possible that there is some direct formatting applied to the text. Among other things, what determine the final look of text, it first apply the paragraph style, then the character style, then the direct formatting. Those two can be changed independently. For example, applying the bold attribute by hand (using the B button in the toolbars) change the direct formatting. If you then apply a style, it will not override the direct formatting of the text.
Usually, if using styles correctly, you shouldn't apply attributes by hand *at all*. To check if this is the issue, you can delete direct formatting quickly by selecting the text, and use the "Format->Delete direct formatting" menu (or something like that; I'm not sure about the english UI, but it's the first command in the "Format" menu). -- Cley Faye http://cleyfaye.net 2013/7/11 Jan Andersen <[email protected]> > I have on several occasions been annoyed by something in LO - just a small > thing, but none the less: Normally, when you apply a style, like a header > style, it sets the typeface etc, but sometimes it doesn't. > > I think it happens in situations like this: I write a section of text, > apply some character formatting (eg. bold or a different font), then decide > to break the section up and insert a heading in between - and it "doesn't > work", ie the font doesn't change etc. Why is that? > > Is this the way it should be, or is it a bug?
