styles

[eile1 <ei...@me.com>]

I have a Word document (2011 Office for Mac) that I have opened in OO and saved to the OO format (.odt).

However, the styles that were in the Word document now don't seem to actually work in the OO document. 

If you select text or have the cursor in a paragraph, and then click a different style in the style browser, nothing happens.

I also tried loading the styles from an odt template file taken from the source Word file.
No difference.

Do styles that were in a Word doc not work in OO?

Thanks.

      Have you checked for any direct formatting in the paragraph? One 
way to find out is to highlight the paragraph, right click within it, 
and select Delete Direct Formatting. After that, you should be able to 
apply a different style to the paragraph.
