[Word 97] Styles, Paragraph Following
I have created Style1 which starts the line at the left margin.
I have created Style2-FirstLine which indents the line from the left margin. The paragraph AFTER Style2-FirstLine is designated as Style1. 1) I now type a paragraph of text. 2) I then go back to the first line and identify the line as Style2-FirstLine. That style is Not invoked, UNLESS PRIOR to selecting the first line , I enter a carriage return (paragraph symbol) at the end of the first line. 3) Once the first line is accepted as Style2-FirstLine, I then have to select and mark the rest of the paragraph to invoke (set) Style1. Since the rest of the paragraph is AFTER Style2-FirstLine, and Style2-FirstLine designates that as being Style1, I was of he impression it would automatically be changed. --------------- QUESTIONS --------------- Am I typing (I type the entire paragraph first) AND using styles correctly (have Style1 set as following paragraph) or am I missing something? |

I can see your interpretation as being 'possible', but that is NOT how the "Style for following paragraph" setting works. It doesn't enforce the subsequent paragraph - it merely changes the style for the following paragraph ONLY IF you put your cursor on the end of a paragraph and press Enter.
Once the subsequent paragraph exists, there is no restriction from anyone changing it, and modifying the above style won't change any following paragraphs anywhere in the document.

As you are using such an old version of Word you do not have many options. See Creating Run-in Sideheads
