I have a template where I use two paragraph styles. The main one is
called "entry" and specifies Times New Roman Normal 12 pt. The
other style is called "quote". For this one I want a different font
size, 88% of 12 pt, or 10.5 pt.
I tried two ways to change the font size. One was in the
"organizer" window of the "quote" paragraph style to link the style
to "entry" and then in the "font" window or "quote" specify 88% as
the font size -- as a percentage of the font size for "entry". The
other was not to link the "quote" style to "entry", and specify the
font size as 10.5 pt.
Neither of these methods worked; the font size did not change from
12 pt. Should I file a bug report, ...
Probably not. Remember that character styles take precedence over
paragraph styles, and character properties take precedence over
character styles. So if you have either applied either a character
style that specifies 12 pt or specified 12 pt for the text directly
(or both), these will maintain the font size at 12 pt regardless of
the changes you make to the paragraph style. There is a difference
between text that is 12 pt just because that is the text size of your
current (even Default) paragraph style and text that has been set to
12 pt explicitly in one of these ways.
Try:
o Select all the relevant text.
o Go to Format | Default Formatting (or Ctrl+M).
This will remove the applied formatting but leave your paragraph
style in place.
I trust this helps.
