Hm... I have been playing with it all day and I keep having inconsistent results. I really think that there's no rhyme or reason to this. This is how I've gotten the correct results (refer to screenshot above): I insert "placeholder text," delete the default text that appears, apply my formatting, and cross my fingers. Seriously. The changes didn't work the first time, but then it worked the next time, without me doing anything differently. I think that if you add more placeholder text with formatting, it forces the previous one to apply its formatting. I wish I had a better answer. Just praying this lasts.... and if anyone has a better solution, please shout.
