Yes, you are right. Paragraph attributes are not stored directly in the

document, they are in RVStyle.ParaStyles collection.

But all these formattings can be saved with document after the proper set of

options (right click RichViewEdit in Delphi IDE, choose "Settings" in the

context menu, choose "Allow adding styles dynamically").

There are no problems applying some changes to the selected paragraphs - you

can reuse existing paragraph styles, if possible.

This is a memory efficient scheme, because a new memory is allocated only

for paragraph styles with unique formatting.

Demo of applying changes to selected paragraph:

(it requires components that can be found at

Demos\Delphi\Assorted\RichEdit\Components\)

In the latest version (available for registered users) such operations are

fully automated by a set of actions (for Delphi and C++Builder 4,5,6).
