I believe that when one modifies the format of a style, the changes should
get applied to all the paragraphs that are in that style.
This works for me in new documents, but I have some very old documents that
started life years ago in (ugh!) MultiMate, were converted to WordPerfect,
then to WordStar, then to Word 2.0, then to Word 6.0, then to Word 97, and
finally to Word 2000.
If I modify a style in these documents, the change is applied ONLY to the
paragraph in which the insertion point was located at the time of style
modification.
I made one of these documents "work right" by saving it as a TXT file,
INSERTing the TXT file into a new document (which created a new style named
PLAIN TEXT for everything) and then re-applying the desired styles.
This was laborious. And, I lost formatting.
There must be an easier way! Anybody? Thanks in advance!
