Thanks. In fact, when I using the dialog box to modify the character type, it 
does not show any function in the status bar. Moreover, when I use "textstyle-
update color 3", the color is set to red, but other attributes are reset (such 
as an italic text becomes regular). I think I have to play with this function.
