Same - Win XP Pro SP2 and I'm up to date with updates. The selected text visibly changes when I apply the style. In the Position section of your style's definition, what are the settings apart from "Subscript" - what values do you have for Relative Font Size & Raise/Lower by? If I set the Relative Font Size to 100% I get the effect you describe - no visible change to the text but a tick against Subscript in the Style context menu.
Okay, that's the problem. When creating the character style, the only thing I specified was that the position should be Subscript. The font size remained at 100%. Setting it to 58% (the value it gets when I right-click on text and specify the Subscript style should be used) yielded the behavior I expected and that you reported.
Interestingly (or alarmingly, depending on your point of view), once I saw your posting above, I fired up OO again and went through the same exercise I had before, and this time when I set the "Subscript" field in the character style I was creating, the relative font size was automatically set to 58%. I *know* that this did not happen when I tried my other experiments. Sigh. I've rebooted in the interim, so maybe that had something to do with it.
Thanks for your help with this. I feared I had found a bug in OO, but now I realize it was just another manifestation of nondeterministic life with computers.
