</div></div>Not sure what you are objecting to. I use the story editor and define<br>
styles as needed from the story editor. When one defines a style there<br>
are basically two pages to enter the data for the style. I am used to<br>
it by now.<br></blockquote><div><br>Hi John,<br><br>I understand we can all get used to a clumsy design and work our way through. My point is this is time consuming, not well designed at all, and ever since it was introduced, it has not been properly implemented. It’s an unfinished work that needs just that, be finished.<br>
