MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

If text is directly (manually) formatted in Microsoft Word version 5.00 or 5.50, the following character styles will not be automatically applied when they are created or when a style sheet containing character styles is attached to a document:

Footnote Ref Annotation Ref Line Draw

Because manual formatting overrides style formatting. These character styles will not automatically applu if the charecter (reference mark or linedraw character) has been directly formatted. In Word 5.0 and 5.5, characters directly formatted and stripped of that formatting (ALT+SPACEBAR), the character style wil not be applied automatically. However, the character styles can be manually applied. In Word 6.0, characters stripped of manual formatting (ALT+SPACEBAR) will allow automatic formatting of applied styles.

In order for the character style to be applied automatically, the reference character or line draw character must be deleted and recreated.
