[Solved] Text Styles Heading Not Applying to All Headings

[holliday22]

I'm using headings to format my document so that I can use a table of contents.

So I pulled up the styles and formatting window, right clicked the clicked modify on Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. I changed the fonts to what I wanted them to be.

Then I put my cursor on the text I wanted to be a heading and double clicked the heading I wanted to apply from the styles and formatting window.

I set my heading 4 to be bold italic. For all my heading 4's, the font, size, and bold apply correctly. But the italic only applies to some of the heading 4's.

Is this a bug or known issue or am I doing something wrong here?

I'm using OS X 10.6.2 and OpenOffice 3.2.0.

If you highlight a caption that does not reveal italics, then use the command "Format - Default" (or shortcut key Ctrl+M), does the italics appear?

Yes, the italics do appear in that case.

What does that mean?

Probably that you had previously applied direct formatting to the paragraph.

Well, good to know. That solves my problem. Thank you for your help.
