Hi Lynn,
 
Are you using the mouse to select your text?
 
If so, could you please contact me privately at  info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  I'd 
like to compare notes with you and one or two others who have reported similar 
problems.

Subject: [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
