Ok, i create a new tag from Heading1 and type some text and go to paragraph catalog and click in the new tag--no problem--text is changed.  Now i go down to some other text  and using the paragraph catalog  and select it and the text does not change .  Why not? What's going on?  Thanks.

    If you have special formatting in the paragraph, it won't be updated with the application of a new paragraph tag. Mark the entire paragraph and in the Character Tag, select "Default font". Now it should look like the new paragraph.

    If I understand you correctly, I've seen similar behavior on rare

    occasions. Selecting the whole paragraph and clicking on default font in

    the character catalog got things working again, so that clicking in the

    paragraph catalog would change the paragraph tag. I'm not sure why this

    happened. Perhaps there was a character tag accidentally assigned to the

    whole paragraph that was acting as an override and kept the new

    paragraph tag from working.

    Also be sure you have all four FM9 updates installed.

    Yes, Mike, the character fonts seem to be part of the problem. I wish, however, i knew exactly what's going on here as I run into it quite often.  Thannks Mike for your input.
