Errant Format Removal

[Shmuel Wolfson]

By "default punctuation" I'm assuming you mean the "bullet" style.

Try making the one change in one paragraph, then clicking Apply, then 
clicking Apply All and selecting NOT to remove overrides. I think that 
the one change you made will change in all paragraphs of the style 
without removing all OTHER overrides of the paragrph style.

I'm not 100% sure of this, but I think it's correct. In the worse case 
scenario, you won't change anything in the other paragraphs of this 
style since you selected not to remove overrides, but I think that the 
one change you made is applied to all paragraphs even when you select 
NOT to remove overrides.

Please guys only small flames if I'm wrong :)
