How can I change the font of the element p?

Question

Hello,
when I insert the element p in the body of a topic the font is times new roman. All other elements have
other fonts. I want to change the font of the element p.
- I open the template and the topic.template and create a new format for a paragraph.
- I open the EDD and create in the section body elements a new TextFormatRule:
- Section body elements
- Element Tag p
- Container
- TextFormatRules
- ContextRule
- If
- Specification body
- ParagraphFormatting
- ParagraphFormatTag .... name of the paragraph format I create in the template
But it doesnt work the format of the element p is still times new roman.
If I do it that way, I have to create a TextFormatRule for every element (body, section...). Is there
an easier way to say, if all the TextFormatRules in the EDD are false/dont apply then use the textformat xyz.
With kind regards,
Nina

Nina,
Did you import the new EDD into the template that is used for the XML import?
In a list of context rules, there is the "else" rule that should satisfy your second question. Also, formatting is applied in a cascading manner. If you want to set a default for "body" elements, put the formatting rule on that element. Then, if no subelement has a rule which overrides it, the default is applied.
