Problem

Solutions: Temporary Font
This feature gives the user the ability to block a section of text and apply a new base font to only that area of text, and have the font following the section reset to the previous font. This does not hard code the previous font name, but allows it to change if the previous font changes. To use this feature, block a portion of text, then press Ctrl+F8, 1-Font, select the desired font, 2-Size, select the desired point size.

If you look at the bottom of the Font screen you will notice the Resulting Font. The Resulting Font indicates the type and size of the font you have selected. Click on OK and return to screen.

With Reveal Codes on, you will notice that order of the codes is [+Font:WP Dutch Roman]this is a test[-Font:10cpi]

The + represents a hard code, meaning that font will not be changed. The - represents a soft code, meaning if the font previous to the blocked text is changed, then the end font will also change.

Application
Type a few paragraphs of text. Block the second paragraph and assign a different font to the paragraph. Look in Reveal Codes to see the beginning and end font codes. What does the plus and minus sign stand for?

Now move your cursor to the top of the page and change the font again to a different type. If you look at the end font code of the second paragraph, what has happened?
