Re: Re: Weird little problem!

Okay, I'll try one last time:

Styles: these act as containers for formatting. When you apply a style all
contained formatting is applied.

Applied Formatting: direct application of fomatting. Overrides previously
applied formatting or current style formatting.

To actually display text it must have format attributes (font, size, width,
etc.). This is so PgS knows how to display the text. If there is no style and
there is applied formatting there would be no display.

PgS's solution for this is a default format. You can set this in preferences.
This is not a style it is applied formatting. If it were a style then
changing it in preferences would change it where ever it occured. But there
is no style marker for it BECAUSE IT IS NOT A STYLE (sorry for that).

This default format is easily changed on a case-by-case basis: simply apply
the desired formatting when creating a new text frame or frameless text
object then start typing text. CAUTION: applied formatting is lost if there
is nothing to apply it to so if something else is done (e.g., change text
frame number of columns) before typing then the applied formatting that has
been done is forgotten and PgS is still working from the defaults set in
preferences.

I think you're wasting your breath\\\fingers, Tim. Of course you are
correct and Don's own example proves it. It starts P:C:, not
P:<nostyle>C:<nostyle>.

But he's still gonna revert to semantics and claim that <nostyle> is
simply a style that doesn't act like other styles that apply the editing
throughout the document.
