ciao louis,<br>
<br>
see this case:<br>
<br>
- you have a paragraph you want to use as style<br>
<br>
- you create a style out of it (just by being prompted a name: that's ok)<br></blockquote><div><br>So far, so good. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
- you then change the kerning of the paragraph to better fit the text<br></blockquote><div><br>Yep, business as usual. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
- you change the font<br></blockquote><div><br>Now this defeats the purpose of a stylesheet but I still follow you... <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
- you fix the kerning again<br></blockquote><div><br>Ok. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
- now you want to update the style you have first created by using the new font<br></blockquote><div><br>Ok. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
- as you update the style (or create a new based on the current paragraph) the kerning information will be included.<br></blockquote><div><br>Ok again. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
- you just wanted to update /store the font change... and now you're upset.<br></blockquote><div><br>No problem. Such changes that apply to a selection of text over a paragraph stylesheet flag the stylesheet with a plus sign like this "+stylename" in most apps that use stylesheets, meaning that the user have applied local settings on top of the stylesheet.<br>
<br>Of course, when creating or updating a stylesheet it is expected the user is fully aware of what he’s doing. In this particular case, the mechanism doesn’t prove to be wrong but the user can make mistakes. It would be better if he'd pick a paragraph that show the stylesheet name without this plus sign. That way he's sure he's updating a clean stylesheet and he will not apply unwanted settings to the whole job.<br>
<br>In any event, having to set the kerning to the default settings in an extra dialog or in the paragraph on the canvas will take the same amount of time. And at this point of tweaking it is not impossible that the user finds out he’s been affecting a lot of other paragraphs on which he may or may have not put local settings... When you come to the point you adjust your type at this level, you are pretty far into the production workflow. A change in the font will definitely have effects on widows and orphans.<br>

<br>
or am i mistaken?</blockquote><div><br>I hope this helps understand better!<br><br>Cheers!<br><br>Louis <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
