Custom styles didn't work

I created custom styles:

   <Style name="Lead" element="strong">
      <Attribute name="style" value="font-family: Arial" />
   </Style>
   <Style name="Body" element="p">
      <Attribute name="style" value="font-family: Arial" />
   </Style>
   <Style name="Midtitle" element="h5">
      <Attribute name="style" value="font-family: Arial;" />
   </Style>
   <Style name="Foto sig" element="b">
      <Attribute name="style" value="font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small; COLOR: rgb(128,128,128);" />
   </Style>
   <Style name="Auto sig" element="p">
      <Attribute name="style" value="font-family: Arial; text-align: right;" />
   </Style>

But when I highlight any tekst and pick one style from above it change me all tekst before and after not only highlighted. Any idea what can be wrong? Thanks

Re: Custom styles didn't work

I have got to figure out that styles work only on full paragraphs. But is there any way to override style with different one? Example: there is a style with a yellow background and I want to override this one with normal, but a yellow background stays. Also how can I create custom style which will works on <DIV> instead of <P> (right now <P> always stays).

Thanks

Re: Custom styles didn't work

I have no experience with the styles, but it seems to me you can use a div-style in the same way you use p-styles:

<Style name="Body" element="div">
      <Attribute name="style" value="font-family: Arial" />
</Style>

And I think the yellow background will only change when you define it. In the above code only the font-family will be set to Arial.
If you want to change the background-color too, you have to define it.
