Normal Style in Linked Documents reverts to Arial

[M. LaPointe]

When I try to set the Normal style in Linked Documents to something other than Arial 10, either via in-doc style editing or importing from normal.rtf, the style setting is not retained.

The presentation of Normal text in the document is rendered according to my style selections, but the underlying style definition remains unchanged.

This can be tested by closing and reopening the document, then updating text to Normal style, and Arial 10 is applied. Also, and more frustratingly  , Arial 10 is used to render the linked document text in Generated Reports. I could live with the Arial 10 if it retained my paragraph spacing, but it does not.

I have rehashed this problem by resetting my normal.rtf, and doing things slightly differently as one does when trying to track down an abnormality, and this problem persists regardless of my approach.

The workaround I settled on is to apply a stylesheet after the document is generated.
