Using the default paragraph styles in PgS Linux, create a two-column text
frame following the default guides (I haven't gotten around to altering the
default margins yet). Create a drawing wider than one column and the gutter
combined and specify wrap 5 (no margins). Align this drawing with the left
edge of the text frame. Type in the text frame using Body Text until the text
has flowed to the right of the drawing. Hit return and the style will be
overridden to give a zero inch indentation for the first line. Not that the
text is pushed past the 0.333" indent so that it appears to not be indented,
but the paragraph format itself has been altered.
I'm reasonably sure that I tried to set the indent back to 0.333" and PgS
refused to acknowledge this, but perhaps not.
Continue with typing, move the drawing around so that text reflows and the
paragraphs that were pushed past the indent now have the full column width at
their disposal. They are still overridden.
Block selecting all paragraphs so affected, setting to a different style and
back to Body Text does fix the paragraph override.
Note: some text was italicized via applied italics. In one case a whole
paragraph and in the second the tail end of a paragraph. The italicizing
survived the change of paragraph styles which I did not expect based on my
experience with PgS Amiga, but made life easier (I had noted before changing
the styles just what was italicized as I expected to have to redo it). Is
this desired behavior (it was to me ;^)? Is it expected behavior?
