InDesign style sheets

[helene silverman]

This seems to work very differently than Quark did. I can't understand why it often won't let me style text—it just stays the same with a plus. Actually the whole thing is a mystery to me. It seems that sometimes I get it to a point where I feel like I have to trash the whole file to get the style sheets to work. All kinds of crazy wrong things happen, like whatever style I apply it just applies the same wrong one to everything. Also my paragraph default is stuck on a certain setting so everytime I make a text box it has an indent etc already on it. Sorry for not being able to take the time to really learn this now, I'm just kind of frustrated and in a work crunch.

Thanks
