Styles misbehaving

[Susan Flamingo]

Hi, Dear Friends!

I have a PAR style that, for some strange reason, while the chars ARE NOT SET to bold, they are showing up as bold/. So I manually made them regular, and there is no + char next to that style. SO I can not remodify the style.

But I want all the instances NOT TO BE BOLD. WHat is going on here?

Thank you, and have a good day!

Can you post some screenshots?

Have you checked if there is a character style on the copy? Are you using any nesting or GREP styling in the paragraph style?

Hi Susan:

InDesign has two features that help us track down overrides:

• The Style Override highlighter [a+], and
• Clear overrides in Selection ¶*

I know you said you aren't seeing the + indicating overrides but I'd still revisit overrides with those two features to fully rule them out.

Once you do, the next place I'd look is in the Paragraph style definition as per @davecourtemanche: specifically to see if Nested Styles or GREP styles are in use (either of which will change the type style, but will not show up as overrides.)

Thanks for the help, but it is not working.

Here are screenshots:: (don't let the Hebrew distract you)

1. You can see the par style BLOCKQUOTE is applied. You can see there are no override

2. In the PAR style setting, you can see that the font is regular and not bold

3. you can see bold text with that style applied.

So what am I missing?

In the screen shot it appears that the highlighted text has a character style applied up in the Control Panel...

That did it!

Thank you, and have a good day!
