================= Ok James...I just tested it....I made a style called James that had 8 pts after the paragraph...then I made a new style named James Less, based on James, that had 0 pts after the paragraph and it worked fine. Am I misunderstanding you? Is this what you are saying you can't do? What do you mean when you say it's not possible? Do you get an error message or something? ================== Oh yeah. I left one part out. Save the document. Then open it again. The second style goes back to being the same pts after paragraph as the first style.
