Are you having problems with formats disappearing? Keep this in mind: all
formatting is retained by the carriage return. Your constant loss of formats
tells you that the carriage return isn't being carried to the next
paragraph, and you must have clicked in the wrong place before starting to
type. Make this easy fix:
1. Select a paragraph that is formatted correctly.
2. Copy that paragraph.
3. Select the paragraph to be fixed.
4. Select "Same as on Clipboard" from the Format menu.
