We changed the size of some TEXT using "fixed sized text" we then couldn't change the size using "Adjustable sized text". In other words the text size wouldn't change with the other text sizing tool if we had used a different one to change it in the first place. Does that make sense?

Strangely it does make sense. A style setting in a font tag, or any tag, always takes precedence over an attribute setting (basic HTML rule). But, the secret here is that you should not count on the underlying code knowing what you want. There is a Remove Formatting button on the toolbar (page with a red X on it), it removes the font settings from the selected text, style and attribute, when you use it. You should never just change a font setting, remove (Unformat) it first, then set anew. If you don't you end up with the style setting AND attribute setting, and style wins.

Hi Keith,
I am having problems with the Remove Formatting command. It won't work! Puzzled as to why, if I select bolded text, then click the Remove Formatting button, it stays bolded? Any ideas? Perhaps I need to reinstall the latest version. I think the updating stalled last time - is there a manual way to do an update?
Having said that, I like the style manager as an alternative. Is there any way to remove formatting in the style manager? Can a button be added to cover Regular, as well as Bold and Italics, which would mean we could switch between Bold and Regular?
Thanks,
Brian

| Bold, Italic and Underscore are odd exceptions in wysiwyg. Since they have their own execCommands they can only be undone by the same cammand. To remove bolded from content, highlight the content and click the bold tool. The tool is a toggle. If the <b> exists the tool removes it, if not, it adds it. Same with Italic and Underscore.

Thanks Keith
Actually, I found the source of the trouble. I upgraded to the latest version, as a previous upgrade did not install completely.
