[duxuser] Applying styles to highlighted text

Hi all,
 
Here's something that's been frustrating me.  When I want to apply a
style to a paragraph in a .dxp file, I highlight the appropriate line or
lines, press F8 and select the style to apply.  As I am sighted and do
this in Code view, I can see immediately where the beginning and ending
style codes go, and often it's not where I want it.  The style ending
will go a paragraph further on.  Or the beginning code will go too
early.  This happens especially when I'm trying to apply an h1. style,
so extra text gets centered.  I suspect the problem has to do with where
a carriage return [<] or line ending [l] is placed.  
 
Can anyone explain what's happening, or point me to the appropriate part
of the Duxbury Help?  I should mention that these are usually files that
I've created within Duxbury (not imported), although it can be when I'm
trying to change the formatting of an imported file.
 
Thanks, Lynn
