[comp.sys.mac] Word 3.01 styles HELP!

mcdougal@gargoyle.uchicago.edu (thomas fenger mcdougal) (04/29/89)

  I used to consider myself very proficient w/ MS Word, but now
I'm stuck.

  I read a text file, which displays as the default, New York
12 point.
  I open up Define Styles, then copy styles from another
document in which style "Normal" is defined to be New York 10
point (plus assorted paragraph formatting).  The font doesn't
change.
  I select a paragraph, and assign "Normal" style to it.
The paragraph formatting is now correct, but it's still 12-point.
  What am I doing wrong?  Is this a bug or a feature?

   Thanks in advance.  (Please respond by email.)

It's a bug.  Let's hope 4.0 solves this one once and for all!
