RH 2020 – Apply styles to multiple paragraphs at one time

In RH 2020, I am importing .fm files from FrameMaker 2020. The text comes in as, say, Arial 8pt. I want it to be Palatino Linotype 10 pt (my Body style). When I select multiple paragraphs to which to apply Body, only the first paragraph changes to PL10. The other paragraphs remain at Arial 8. I need to select each paragraph and individually apply the Body style. What am I missing?

    What are your steps? I just selected three paragraphs and went to the font dropdown to select a different font. It changed all three as expected.

     

    With all three paragraphs selected, try clicking the Clear Formatting icon. Then look at the code to ensure that only the P tag is applied and there is nothing else overriding things.

     

    Also do you have Update 7 applied?

    Thank you for the response. I was selecting a Style, not a Font, and it worked as I originally posted. However, thanks to Update 7, selecting multiple paragraphs and applying a style changed all the paragraphs as expected. Thank you!
