Paragraphs and Characters formating

[Petar Petrenko]

Hi,

please, do not allow applying local paragraph formating or paragraph style to reset any local character(s) formating (everything is OK with character styles) because it must not be done. It is like applying fill color to an object to reset stroke color or vice versa. It just makes no sense. Beside reseting characters alternates, all other local characters formatings are reseted, too: kerning, tracking, baseline shift, super/subscript...

Yes, I now there is a burger menu with "Apply... to... and Clear/Preserve..." but using them every time when doing some changes to paragraphs localy or with style?

Publisher will be really great DTP app if you apply my suggestion. It is something that ID and QXP still have problems with. We could do layout with much more confidence, speed and no pressure that something can go wrong with local formats.

Thank you.

Yes, preserve local overrides should be default and force style an option.

I usually prefer to override all local formatting that is not from a character style. I am not opposed to the change suggested in this thread, but if it is made, please make option-clicking a style in the Text Styles Studio to apply the style and clear all the overrides.
