Hi Charles,

I've not used SBL Hebrew and I'm not sure exactly how you have your system 
set up. Do you have a Hebrew keyboard that comes on automatically when you 
start typing Hebrew, or do you have to type intricate key combinations to get 
different letters / symbols that you want?  When you say you have set the 
complex script font to SBL Hebrew, what style is that for (you needd to have 
it for normal style and thus for everything based on it)? I wonder if it is 
possible that when you try to type a particular Hebrew letter through a 
certain key sequence you hit upon one of the preset shortcut keys that resets 
the style you are writing in. For example, I think ctrl+Q resets the format 
of the paragraph, ctrl+shift+Z resets the format of the character, with the 
default settings. If the style you have set up with SBL Hebrew as the complex 
script font is not the 'normal' style, then hitting ctrl+shift+N would reset 
to Normal style, and you might lose the font setting. You can see other possi!
 ble shortcut keys you might be hitting under tools>customise,  go to 
'commands' tab then 'keyboard' and look under 'format'.  

I'm also wondering if in your style you have the complex script language set 
to Hebrew, as well as setting the font to a Hebrew font? I guess so?
