Hi, Almost the same happens to me. I'm using style library of iReport 1.2.7. When i drag'n'drop style from library onto textfield, save and look into jrxml code, then all is as it should be, but then when i change the same style in library and drag'n'drop it onto the same textfield, my change doesn't apply. Example: style: <style name="mainTitle" isDefault="false" fontName="Serif" fontSize="14" isBold="true" pdfFontName="Times-Bold" pdfEncoding="Cp1250" isBlankWhenNull="true" /> and then i change horizontal align, drag'n'drop and the style is the same as above, i don't see 'hAlign="Center"' there. Little workaround is to delete this style definition in jrxml code, save, reload in iReport and drag'n'drop again, and it's as it should be: <style name="mainTitle" isDefault="false" hAlign="Center" fontName="Serif" fontSize="14" isBold="true" pdfFontName="Times-Bold" pdfEncoding="Cp1250" isBlankWhenNull="true" /> But it isn't pleasant and fast to do this with 40 reports. Please help.
