To remove local formatting from a paragraph

[Avraham Makeler]

Hi Nadine, Thanks for your response.

>> If I understand you correctly, you want to remove formatting overrides to
text within a paragraph (ie, whatever makes it formatted differently from
the defined paragraph tag)

Almost. I want to remove all formatting overrides to all the paragraph's
'properties' (including its text). E.g., to remove also the spacing between
the paragraph and its neighboring paragraphs. So that which you suggest,
namely "Select the offending text, and in the Character catalog, choose
Default Para Font.", does only half the job.

Anyway, somebody answered offlist. The way to do this is to open the
Paragraphs catalog and locate the entry for the style of the offending
paragraph,
and then click it.

So this is a two stage job (just like in Word).

Note also, that there is a lack of symmetry in FM between the paragraph
styling and the character styling. The Paragraph catalog does not have a
'Default Paragraph' entry.

Thanks,

avraham
