anto Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 If I group character styles into a group, I don't see any character styles when I want to select, for example, for initial words. Is this a bug? Quote
walt.farrell Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 It is the same as your other topic (below). A Group Text Style cannot be applied to text. It is used only for organizing the Text Styles panel and for helping define other text styles, which you would then apply to text. bbrother 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

anto Posted April 30, 2024 Author Posted April 30, 2024 And don't mix topics here. You didn't even read the topic carefully. It says: character style, not paragraph style. Quote

Oufti Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 @anto: I don't see here what I believe you meant. All character styles are present in the popup Initial Words or Drop Cap, even if they are inside a group (wether "Cara" or "Corps x" in my example): But what is known is that when you choose a character style in these popup menus, the letters affected won't see this style assigned, even if their formatting is OK. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&tags=AF-1012 Quote Affinity Suite 2.5 – Monterey 12.7.5 – MacBookPro 14" 2021 M1 Pro 16Go/1To I apologise for any approximations in my English.

The first problem is that you can't create a mixed group, that is, a group that contains both character and paragraph styles. 2. I've described the second problem here. Try collapsing your styles and see what you see. Quote

You can mix paragraph and character styles in a style group so I'm unsure what you're seeing. I wish "style group" had instead been named "base style" because it doesn't group the styles visually if you're not using the hierarchical view. Its purpose is to provide a base set of formatting attributes on which other styles can be based. But regardless of whether you call it a base style or a style group, you can definitely based both types of text styles on it.

Now I see that it is possible. The problem was that if I created a group and it contained both a character style and a paragraph style, and the group was closed, then I could not select the character style that was in that group through the Initial Words. But this problem was solved in the beta version. Quote

anto Posted April 30, 2024 Author Posted April 30, 2024 You use MacOS as i can see. So, this is Windows problem. Oufti 1 Quote
MikeTO Posted April 30, 2024 Posted April 30, 2024 Agreed, it's Windows only but there is something funky with it in 2.4.2 Mac - if I create a file in 2.5 beta and open it in 2.4.2 (which is possible at least for now), the Edit Text Styles > Initial Words > Character Style list will be set to the separator line between No Change and No Style. But it doesn't matter, this has already been changed in the 2.5 beta.

My document was created in 2.4.2 and presented the same strange pre-selection, as seen in my video.
