I have run into this several times. When updating an InDesign file from an older version (now using CS5) when I apply a paragraph style the font defaults to 50 point no matter the style settings. Is there some way to avoid this. Currently I'm copying and pasting the graphics into a new file and having to reset the text. If I copy any of the old text over it causes the same problem.
Most of our text is copied and pasted from Microsoft Word (old version and new text edits), however, the text that was already in the document and the new text both do the same thing when a style is applied.
