Can't access character tags in Style Window

Post by davidmcmurrey »

Seems real backwoods, but in order to get the character tags to list in the Style Window, I highlight a chunk of text in the topic, make it bold, and aha! the character styles are listed.

Is there a better way? -- David

Sorry in advance for what will be a brief answer. I'm away at the moment...

Flare will only ever show you the styles that are appropriate for the bit of stuff you are working with. So given that you have selected (highlighted) just a bit of something within some other block, rather than the whole block, the only applicable styles are span (aka character) styles. This is just how Flare works and there is no way to force it to show all of the styles in your stylesheet, the way one can see all styles in Word's Style window.

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!
