John-- From your recent posts, it appears that you're trying to use tagged text to apply local (i.e., not style-based) formatting. I *strongly* advise against this, for two reasons: 1. Your tagged text file will become larger and more difficult to manage. If you use character/paragraph styles, your tagged text need only refer to the style names--the formatting itself is taken care of by the styles you've defined in your document. 2. You will not be able to change formatting as easily in the resulting InDesign documents. If you use a style, you can change the definition of that style and have the change reflected in all text tagged with that style. In the tagged text example I posted, I used paragraph and character styles to perform the formatting tasks--please (for your own sake) consider using this approach, rather than local formatting. Thanks, Ole
