Style is not applied in generated WebHelp

I am using RoboHelp 2015 on a Windows 7 computer.  I copied a Web Help project into a new directory and then opened it in WebHelp.  The project was created many years ago and then updated over the years.  The latest default.css file is in this directory and also in the generated output directory.

When I generate the WebHelp output, all the styles are applied correctly except one.  The name of this style, COLUMNNAME, is all caps.  The rest of the style names have initial caps or all small letters.  Why is only one style in the document not being formatted correctly?

This style has a color applied.  Only one other style in a document has a color applied and it works ok.

The style formatting shows up correctly in the RoboHelp ap.  If I click on the text, then double click on the style, the style formatting then shows up correctly in the generated output.  This solution would be OK except I have thousands of text with this style.

Thanks for your help.

Diane

Have you examined a topic where that style is used? Perhaps in the topic it's COLUMNNAME and in your CSS file it's now Columname and there is a mismatch.

When a style shows in CAPS, it means it is not in the CSS or there is some

spelling difference. Check again. Post back if you cannot resolve with that

information.

Thank you Peter for your help.  The COLUMNNAME style was already in the default.css.  I changed it to Columnname.  However, the style was not applied.  I copied the updated default.css file to all places, source, generate and publish for all the test projects.  It did not help.  This entire project is 20 years old, so it has gone thru many versions of RoboHelp.

Thanks for your help.
