Re: Paragraph text refers to more than one style

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I understand all that - but in some instances you just need to highlight some
sentences not the entire paragraph. So how can i avoid my template getting
confused with char and para styles?

All my built-in styles have been modified by Word, even though they are all
based on NO-Style. So how can i stop it affecting my styles.

Please advise
