Changing Style assigned to a paragraph

I have been battling this since I started using Flare and finally seeking help.

How do you re-tag a paragraph with a style in a different style "grouping".

For example, I have a table where most rows are tagged with the p style, but one row is tagged with td.Tablestyle.

If I go to the style drop-down to change the row to p, there are only 4 styles to choose from (td, td.Body ...).

This happend in a lot of other cases but this si the one I am facing now.

This is different from any other program I have used where all available styles appear in the drop-down.

Why can't I change a paragraph to any style I want ? If I can, how ????

Thanks

Simplest way I know is to put the cursor in the table cell and press Enter. That will add <p> tags to both lines in the cell. Then just backspace to remove the extra line, and the <p> tag stays. Then you can select any style <p> you want.

Just to make sure it's clear to everyone what's happening, you're not changing the TD into a P tag. Instead, you are nesting one or more P tags inside the TD tag. That's why you couldn't change the TD tag directly (the TD tag must be there in order for it to be a proper table cell).
