Multiple font sizes witin a style?

Not Really Me

Tell me if this is nuts, but:

I want to have some styles that have more than one size in them. Actually
it's probably easiest if I show my requirements and let someone make a
suggestion. Here is a sample of what I am trying to do:



OSTaskQuery: Software shall provide a service that allows a task or ISR to
obtain status and other internal information about a specified task.

The task or ISR shall be required to identify the subject task by its
priority.

The asdf shall be required to identify the subject task by its priority.





I would like the first sentence to be in style A. The second in style B, The
third in style B.

Each indented from the previous. The 6pt stuff is a keyword used in
testing. All the rest is 10pt. There will also be a 6 char identifier at
the beginning of each line in hidden text and each line will be marked as a
bookmark that another program needs to find.



My early attempts look ok, but when I save then reload the file, the entire
line is in 6pt.



Is this possible?

Please don't attach anything to posts in these newsgroups. Thank you.

The short answer to your question is "No, you can't." but I think you can
accomplish what you want. It is just that styles, alone, can't be the
vehicle.

Consider using a three-column table with each column having its own
paragraph style. Save a table row as an AutoText entry.

For more on tables, see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/tables.htm

For more on AutoText see help and then the links on the subject at

By definition, a style holds ONE size of font, consistent formatting is the
point of using styles. However, you can get more than one style on the same
line, see here for various ways depending on version:

Not necessarily better or worse than the suggestion of using tables, see
what method works best for you.

Please don't post attachments, many people will not even see them and those
who do will not open them for fear of viruses.

Sorry about the attachment. I wasn't thinking.

I'll look into these suggestions.

Thanks,
