AS I move along absorbing a little more in this epub world I learn 2 things and forget 3 which is why I write this.

I see two ways of converting a word doc to an epub with two different results.
1. open the docx in Calibre, convert to epub and open in Sigil.

I get two stylesheets, decent styling and the pages broken up into sections.

2. open the converted word docx html file in Sigil

I get no external stylesheet and no colored headers ( to name a few) and ONE page for the document

It seems using method one gives me better results but I now need to embed a font into the file and use it ONLY in a section on page4.

I already added the font into the folder, I see its in the manifest already but I need to know how to assign the font to JUST the paragraph I need it to display in and not the entire file.

anyone?

thx
