Cant go back to normal style after using lowered character

I'm not sure what's going on in your case, but here's a workaround, and a way to avoid the problem in future.

*For the current problem: Click after the subscript text, then press delete until you have only Plain Text at the insertion point. Proceed as below.

*In regular use: Type the subscript text as part of the Plain Text, and continue beyond it for a few characters. Then select the text that is to be set as subscript, and change its format, using the Text menu or the usual keyboard command. This wil change only the selected text, and will leave the followg text as Plain, a format that should hold as you continue typing from the end.

Regards,
Barry

Hello

This style is named "Subscript" in english.
On my machine, when a range of text is set as subscript, selecting the entire range, even with extraneous characters and choosing the plain text style restores this plain text style.
Selecting the exact range of chars and unchecking the subscript menu item "disable" this attribute leaving others in use.

If this doesn't work with your doc, I assume that
- 1 - your doc is corrupted and it would be useful to make some cleaning, for instance save it as AW5 then open the new AW5 document with AW6.

- 2 - some preference file is corrupted and it would be useful to trash them.

Hans Christian,

Yvan's point is that there might be corruption within document(s) concerned or AppleWorks itself. If not dealt with these might cause you more serious problems in the future.

Following Yvan's suggestions 1 and 2 would be a sensible precaution.

Ha det,

Michael

It's possible the problem lies in corrupt AppleWorks preferences. Deleting & reinstalling AppleWorks wouldn't fix those. Preference files need to be deleted manually. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more info.

Hello Hans

May you attach some sample "odd" files to a mail and send them to:

koenigPERIODyvanATtele2PERIODfr

to use this “crypted” mail address:
change PERIOD to .
change AT to @
change PERIOD to .

and please, don’t put the true address in a forum’s message.
Having the files on my machine would be useful to know if the oddities are docs-related or specific to your install.

Have you already tried to create a new userAccount to check if the odddity strikes also in this new one ?

Here is the text part of the response I sent to Mr Holmsen.

Hello

It appears that there is an anomaly with the Norsk version of AppleWorks.

I opened your document with the french and an english AW version. It works flawlessly.

Then, I opened it with the Norsk version.

Using the "Senket tekst" item I tried to return to standard stil. The char moved up of only half the displacement.

Applying "Vanlig tekst" to a small range of chars gave a "funny" result: the range moved down slightly.
?
Applying "Vanlig tekst" at the entire paragraph, it works but it removed other attributes that you may wish to keep.
?
So, I think that there is really a bug but, as AppleWorks is dropped, don't wait for an update.

Thanks, I'll double-check & edit it.
