Selected TAG doesn't format text.

[Guest]

After pressing Enter key (PC) to begin new paragraph, then selecting TAG for that paragraph (eg., Heading2Body), text stays unformatted. Pressing Apply several times makes no difference. To solve this problem, I did a Copy Special < Copy Paragraph Format of previous Heading2Body text. Then, pasted the format where i planned to start a new paragraph. Is there a quicker way? Have any of you had this problem and, if so, how did you deal with it?

Pls always include the specific version of FM in your msg (including the "pxxx" numbers as shown in Help About).

When you say "selecting TAG for that paragraph" please clarify what specific actions, do you mean with your mouse, with keyboard shortcuts, or ??

Are you on a master page or a body page?

Version 9.0p250. I was using the mouse on a body page.

Did you try doing a CTL-L to refresh the display? I just tested doing what you describe on my copy of FM9 p250 & it applies right away using either the paragraph designer & applying or using the mouse to select the paragraph style from the toolbar list.

I did not think to do a Ctrl + L. I will try do that if the problem reoccurs.It doesn't happen every time, only occasionally.
