Why do styles NOT hold their font size?

I've learned how to set styles and am now applying them to a document, but I've noticed that the font size is not holding. I'm using Cochin in 10 point for a section that is two columns of text with some poetry lines here and there. I've checked the styles to make sure font size is set, but the paragraphs slip into 11 and don't hold at 10.
Now that I'm committed to using Pages instead of Word for this book project, I hate being bogged down by this problem. Any suggestions welcome/

There are several types of styles, character, paragraph and list styles. Paragraph styles effect the whole paragraph. Character styles effect only the selected text.
It sounds as if you are looking for character styles:
• Select the text that is in the format you wish to emulate.
• Open the styles drawer and click and hold down the plus sign until the choice between character and paragraph styles appears. Choose 'create character style from selection' and save it in the name you wish.
To apply a character style, select some text and click on the character style you created. You can change styles like this within a paragraph.

  • When I create a stickie note, I can not save any font size other than the default.  How do I save a stickie with a larger or different font?

    Unlikely, I'm afraid.
    The LMS has no control over the playbar that pauses or plays the Captivate content.
    In a Multi SCORM package, the LMS also may be showing a TOC in the SCORM player with links to launch the lesson modules.  This TOC is in addition to the TOC inside the Captivate project file which gives access to sections of the module by jumping to slides that begin those sections.  But the LMS doesn't usually give you any control over the look and feel or functionality of that TOC either. 
    If your client is adamant that they want complete control over these areas, then your best option may be NOT to build this course with Captivate but build it from the ground up with another tool.  E.g. Flash, or Dreamweaver.  Either way, that will add a lot more time and expense to the project.  But if the client has the budget and is unwilling to budge on their requirement, then that's what I would be telling them to do.

  • New style created when changing font size

    Whenever I highlight some text and change the font size in
    the property inspector, a new style gets created and the text in
    the code gets surrounded by <span
    class="style1"></span>
    I do not want this behavior. I just want the text to be
    surround by <font> tags. Otherwise I have to make sure this
    unwanted style gets put into the style sheet.
    help?

    It depends very much on precisely what you mean in the above.
    I will assume
    that when you say 'one line' you mean 'one paragraph'. to do
    that, you
    would create a rule like this -
    #content p.special { font-size:16px; }
    and then apply the 'special' class to the paragraph in
    question by selecting
    it with the tag selector, right clicking to get the context
    menu, and using
    "Set class to -> special".
    Or, you could click in the paragraph tag in question and use
    the 'Style'
    selector on the Property inspector to select "special".
    If, instead, you meant one line within a paragraph, then you
    would have to
    select that text, and surround it with a span tag (using
    Ctrl-t). Apply the
    'special' class to the span tag, and adjust your rule like
    this -
    #content span.special { font-size:16px; }

  • LJ Pro200 M251n not printing certain font sizes

    My new printer won't print text at certain font sizes using Word or Publisher 2010. Up to 60pt it's fine, but not 72, 100 or 120. However, it will print 240 pt. It will also print these text items from pdf.
    Is this a driver issue? I'm using PCL6 but can't find any other drivers on the HP website. Do I need UPD PCL 6?

  • Why does the mouse change the font size on my lap top?

    When browsing on my lap top, I mistakenly change the font size with the integrated mouse on the computer. This is not a problem when using the external mouse. I notice that expolorer typically has the screen size displayed in the lower right hand corner. I need to know how to avoid this problem. Thanks!

    If you press the Ctrl key while using the mouse wheel then you change the page zoom.
    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

  • Why can't I change the font size on the menu bars for my mac book air?

    The text is just too small sometimes. Are there any third party apps that can help with this, apparently apple is under the impression everyone has perfect vision? Is this some crazy request? I was reading through the forums and this has been a problem for a while now. I am so happy that apple has high resolution screens but my eyes are not great and it is hard for me to focus on small things for very long.

    Hi Appleman,
    So what causes the Title Sequence from not being able to be edited?
    As per michelepost comments earlier, neither the "Show Fonts" function allows title values to be changed, nor if the iMove Font Panel displayed?
    From the Menu options, neither does the Cmd- or Cmd+ functions work to manage the size of the title text...
    Can new titles be created with images from my photo library be used as backgrounds for Titles?
    Whilst on the theme, why when changing photo image durations, the value in time entered does not relate to the image(s) selected? I enter 1.8seconds, and 0.9 is displayed against the selected image.......
    Looking forward to your response in advance.

  • Why pixels are not corresponding to the size I want?

    Hello,
    Recently I've detected a problem in my Adobe Illustrator CS6.
    I open the software, define the art board area in pixels (I checked it at Preferences > Units), but when I export my images they become bigger than they are.
    Example:
    This is an image 10x10 pixels, exported at Photoshop (everything is ok here):
    This is an image 10x10 pixels, exported at Illustrator.... much bigger!
    Here it is the options chosen at preferences:
    And what appears in work area:
    Does anyone knows what is going on? What can I do to solve this?
    Please tell me something. This way is hard to work...
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Inês Guilherme

    Maybe, just guessing here, the resolution set for the photoshop doc was 72 and the one for illustrator 300?
    No, no, no. There is no "resolution" setting for a native Illlustrator file like that for a raster image.
    When uisng a program like Illustrator, FORGET PROGRAMS LIKE PHOTOSHOP. They are entirely different things and you're just confusing yourself.
    Inês,
    In a program like Illustrator, the page rulers refer to real-world units of measure when the document is printed. A pixel is NOT a real-world unit of measure. Ask yourself 'How big is a pixel?' or 'How many pixels is it from Earth to its moon?' Those are nonsensical questions. A pixel can be any size, because a pixel is nothing but a color value. Thinking of pixels as distance is like thinking of colors as distance. How many colors is it from where you live to New York City?
    When you work in a program like Photoshop, you are basically working within a SINGLE RASTER IMAGE. That single raster image has a fixed number of pixels. That's why Photoshop's rulers can make sense when they are set to pixels; they are not using pixels as a measure of distance; they are using pixels as a COUNT of pixels.
    But when you work in a program like Illustrator, you are NOT working in a single raster image. You are working within a model of a region of physical measure (a page) which can contain vector-based paths (which have no pixels), vector-based text (which has no pixels) and any number of MULTIPLE raster images.
    Each of those MULTIPLE raster images on the page has its own independent number of pixels, and its own independent scale, AND its own independent position (which doesn't even have to correspond to any whole increment of the rulers; the sides of those raster images on the page may be positioned BETWEEN the "pixels" indicated on the rulers).
    So in a program like Illustrator, you can have an image which contains 225 pixels across (or any other number, and another image which contains 25 pixels across (or any other number). Both of those images may be scaled on the page to the same UNIT OF MEASURE dimension. For example, both of those images may be scaled to one inch in width. The rulers, if set to "Pixels" would indicate that they both "measure" 72 "Pixels" across. But they would still contain different numbers of pixels, regardless of how many "Pixels" Illustrator's rulers indicate they "measure".
    Now given those very basic differences between what you're actually doing in a program like Photoshop and what you're doing in a program like Illustrator, what can the page rulers in Illustrator possibly mean when they are set to "Pixels"? Illustrator's rulers ALWAYS refer to a real unit of MEASURE, not to a mere COUNT of "Pixels." So when Illustrator's rulers are labeled "Pixels" they still have to ACTUALLY correspond to some unit of real-world measure.
    And they do: When you set Illustrator's rulers to "Pixels" you are really setting them to "Points". A point is 1/72 of an inch.
    So when you have your rulers in Illustrator set to "Pixels" and you draw your 10 x 10 "pixel" square, you are really drawing a 10 x 10 POINT square. And assuming you drew it as a path, it has no pixels whatsoever. It doesn't become rasterized until you either invoke the Rasterize command, or until you export it to a raster format. When you export it as a raster image, the only way the resulting image will actually contain 10 x 10 pixels is if you export it at a resolution of 72 pixels per inch.
    In other words, because Illustrator's rulers ALWAYS assume a scale of 72 pixels per inch when it uses "Pixels" as a bogus unit of measure, then you have to specify 72 PPI at the time of export if you want the number of pixels in the resulting raster image to correspond to the bogus "number of pixels" indicated by Illustrator's rulers.

  • Firefox does not load long images, pixelates images if they are not in their original size, and has problems with thumbnails (in some sites)

    Firefox has problems with images.
    In sites like deviantART or ImageShack with full-view option, images that are not in full size/thumbnails get slightly pixelated e.g. http://img251.imageshack.us/f/screenshot2tq.jpg/
    Long images get completely messed up if full-viewed e.g. http://img689.imageshack.us/f/screenshot5z.jpg/ (though if the file is only big, it loads just fine)
    Also, thumbnails in some sites get messed up e.g. http://img201.imageshack.us/f/screenshotyr.jpg/
    And in general, Firefox has more 'glitches' like not allowing to add more search engines. It wasn't like that before and I can only assume that it got messed up somewhere with updates, but I'm not really sure.
    I've tried cleaning out cache, re-installing Firefox (multiple times) and even downloaded Firefox 4 beta, but the problem remains.
    I use Ubuntu.
    Does anyone else have similar problems? Or know where the problem lies?

    Do you have the latest driver for your graphics display card?
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • A GREP style not holding in CS4

    Hi,
    OK...I have been playing with a bunch of these GREP searches in CS4 where I can put them in as a stylesheet.
    I have a character style that is called superscript, that automatically makes a ® superscript when it is typed, and that is working fine.
    Then I added my lookahead for any TM or ® to add a 100 tracking in between the letter and the tm or ®. It does it if I have the type in the box and apply my style to the whole box. But, if I go in and make changes to the text, the ®-superscript automatically happens when I type a new one, but the tracking doesn't automatically happen. What's worse is, if I select the text and try to apply the style manually, it still doesn't not apply the 100 tracking. I have to make it a basic or none style and then re-apply the good one.
    If it is in the GREP style of the paragraph style, shouldn't it do it dynamically?
    Here is my image.
    thanks!!

    The only object I know of you can create an InDesign and specify whether it prints or not in the PDF is a button. That would definitely NOT work with character styles.

    The pdf does not have the same font as my document.  We use Claredon Condensed Bold Italic and it changes it on the pdf?
    Also, is there an easy way to just pick a certain pages to pdf?

    Hi pkevdon,
    How well a file converts depends largely on the quality of the original file.
    Does it occur with all files or with specific one?
    Would you send your PDF document to [email protected] as an email attachment? 
    I will check it from my end.Please add the link to this forum post for reference.

  • Why will finder not remember the window size that I set it to?

    Every time I open finder I have to drag it out to the size I want it. It will not remember the size I put it at. How do I get it to remember. MBA Mid-2011 with Lion installed 10.7.4.
    If I restart it its back to a real small size again and with a 11" MBA that is small.

    I don't think it's a Lion issue, as I have no such problems.  But the way window positions work is a bit hard to grasp, as it can depend as much on how you get a particular window open as on the folder you're choosing to view.
    If you can double-click your hard drive icon on the desktop and get the window position and view to stick, but after a restart it has forgotten that position and view when performing the same action, then you can try deleting the invisible .DS_Store file inside the relevant folder (in this case, at the root of the hard drive).
