Problem

Solutions: Formatting Selected Text When a block of text is modified with a font change, or with a line format change, the settings that were in effect before the block will be restored at the end of the block. Line format changes are things such as Margins, Tabs, Justification, Line Spacing, Line Height, etc. WP accomplishes this by inserting "hard" codes at the beginning of the block and "soft" codes at the end of the selected text. A "soft" code is represented in Reveal Codes with a "-" inserted at the beginning of the code. Soft codes may change in a document as necessary. For example, if a document is typed with a 1" left margin, then a portion of the text is selected and the left margin is changed to 2.0", the resulting codes would be: [+Lft Mar:2.0"] at the beginning of the block (the "+" denotes a "hard" code), followed by the text and then [-Lft Mar:1"] at the end of the block. If the margins at the beginning of the document were later changed to 1.5", the soft code that previously showed [-Lft Mar:1"] would be changed to [-Lft Mar:1.5"]. Application Block a paragraph of text and apply formatting changes to the block. Look for the soft formatting codes in Reveal Codes.
