SYMPTOMS
When you use the reveal formatting feature in Word, it does not display
some of the character style formats you applied to your document. For
example, if you apply an italic character style to a selection and then
manually remove that formatting by pressing CTRL+I, the italic character
style does not display when you reveal formatting, even though it is still
applied.
CAUSE
By design, when you use the reveal formatting feature, Word displays only
the formats that are currently active for the selection. Word does not
display the style formats that are not currently active, such as those
that
have been overridden by other formatting. For example, if you apply direct
formatting that overrides a character style format, Word no longer
displays
the character style format when you reveal formatting.
WORKAROUND
If you want to see all the style formatting currently applied to a
character, click Style on the Format menu. You can compare these settings
with the formats Word displays when you reveal formatting to determine
which settings have been overridden.
