I've been doing paragraph styles and always work, until today.  I made a new style based on No Paragraph Style, when i try to apply the style to another pargarph it chages to default, also when I make changes I don't get the plus to redefine the paragaph style. I'm doing what I have been doing for years, did something changed in the updates? Help?

I guess I don't know much about Indesign, were do I find IDMLing or ID-Tasker

 


ID Tasker is a plugin develped by @Robert at ID-Tasker 

To get .idml go to File > Export... and save as .idml. Open that and save as a new .indd file.

But when a paragraph style refuses to to format existing text the problemn is often that a character style has also been apply, either directly, or through a GREP or Nested Style, or formatting has been applied as a local override, so check those things first.

I suppose you could have applied a character style. Remove it from the paragraph.

Also, when I open the Paragraph Style Options it shows the font and size I choose. Is just not appling the style.

Trash InDesign's preferences and / or do IDMLing on your file.
