Hi Andy and Dan
Thanks for your replies. Yes, you are right... I feel a bit stupid, I was
in-fact trying to apply a paragraph style. I understood I should be using a
character style instead, the paragraph style simply ignores my highlighted
selection... I gather this is a a feature not a bug. Concerning my comment:
"I have even noticed sometimes it applies it to the line and only part of my selection." I am still not sure about this, I can only guess that it might of happened because a had applied a character style to part of the line which seemed to take precedence over the paragraph style.
Thanks for your help,
Peter

Hi,
I find the 'styles and formatting tool' buggy and unpredictable, After
creating my custom styles, I highlight a portion of text on a line and
tried to apply the style, instead of applying it to the selection, it
applies it to the whole line?? I have even noticed sometimes it applies
it to the line and only part of my selection.
I've never noticed this. If you'll forgive a stupid question, you are trying
to apply your own character styles, are you? Paragraph styles apply only to
whole paragraphs, viz. the one where the cursor is.
Perhaps if you could give a bit more information about what you are doing, we
may be able to help more. The documentation has a lot on styles.
This is quite disappointing as the styles tool is critical for me to
work with very large documents.
Also It think it would also be a lot more usable if custom styles
appeared either at the top of the list or in a 'custom styles' tab.
Kind regards,
Peter
