Styles not working in Robohelp 2022.6.34

I am trying to setup Styles in Robohelp 2022.  When I edit them ans try to apply to text, the text does not update with the style settings. For example:  I changed the h1 style to

    Check that the CSS you have edited is the one specified in Topic Properties > Style Sheets and that it is the only CSS selected there.

    I copied the stylesheet that worked into my project and changed the topic to use that css.  Did not work in my project when I clicked in the paragraph.

    What shows in topic properties? It's likely two CSS files are showing.

    You are moving the cursor to the beginning of the paragraph and then holding the mouse key down to drag across so that the paragraph is highlighted. Just press the mouse down in the paragraph so that the cursor is flashing but nothing is selected, that is clicking the mouse in the paragraph.

     

    If you are saying that is what you have done, then we need to look at other things.

     

    First go to the menu, click View and then Starter Screen. Bottom left you will see Sample Projects. Open About RoboHelp  and see if you have the same problem there.

     

    Post back.

    IN the About Robohelp project.  I can successfully change the style and it gets applied.

    By highlighting or by placing the insertion point at the beginning of the paragraph?

    i am not sure what you mean by "click in the paragraph".  I clicked in that field but again nothing happened.

    Highlighting it. Just click in the paragraph rather than selecting.
