(Perhaps the title of this bug should be changed back.) I was able to update such a character style in the way you described, but ONLY when changing the font size through the Basic Fonts menu. This explains the difference in effect due to order of operations that I described. But this method of updating, even if intentional, is terribly confusing. Shouldn't percentage font sizes update automatically here just the same as elsewhere?? Also, changing the default paragraph font still has no effect, either on percentage font sizes or on the default size displayed before modifications. So back to my original question: is the "parent style" of all character styles the default paragraph style, or is it something else? I tried modifying the default paragraph style again and pressing the "Standard" button, which returned it to the setting in the Basic Fonts menu. This strongly suggests that both the paragraph and character styles are based on some third source which is only modifiable from the Basic Fonts menu.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
