Style Sheets don't work anymore

Gang,

So I'm highlighting a bit of copy (paragraph) and going to New Style and naming it for the style. But but I go to apply that style in InDesign 2017, it no longer changes the type. I'm doing a calendar of events, so this is VERY frustrating!. I've already trashed my prefs. Has InDesign changed the way stylesheets work? I"m on a MAC. OS 10.10.5. My workload is backing up because of this.... HELP!

    Can you show me the same view with the Characters Styles panel in front?

    No, I'm sure you are up against overrides. Try Alt/Opt clicking on the style name instead of just clicking it. Does that work?

    If not show a screen shot of the entire screen with the cursor in the paragraph and the Styles panel open.
