James. I received the Publisher file you sent me privately and you are right. For some reason, the 0 pt. setting does not hold on the second style and I'm not sure why cuz it did hold when I did it. The only thing that I can see which is different and you didn't tell me the first time is that you set 24pt. For the before AND the after spacing and I only did it for the After cuz that's what you originally said. Anyway, all I can tell you is that I played around with it and if you set it to 1 pt. it does hold, but it just doesn't hold at 0 pt. and I guess that IS a bug of some kind. Hope this helps you somewhat.

Are you applying two different styles in one text box or using different text boxes for each? I did it in two different text boxes and maybe that's the difference? Try it that way and see if the styles stay the same. I have a feeling that it's not cuz you are basing one style on the other, but that you are putting two different styles in one text box...maybe? I don't have time now to check that out cuz I gotta get to bed....but when I did it in two different text boxes, the styles remained as I made them, even after saving, closing, and reopening.
