Text keeps reverting to former styles
I am having lots of trouble with text frames. I make changes to the size or font, and as soon as I select another object, all the formatting changes I have made revert to their former state. I have tried making a new frame and starting fresh, I've tried copying from one project into another, I have tried making the changes and then clicking the "S" for "set as style" and still it reverts every time. Please help, I am sure I am missing something simple!

Known issue, see #302084: Font size changes made in Inspector do not stick. Don't enter the text and change its settings in the same go. Add/enter text, Esc, select then change in Inspector

Actually that’s a different issue, having to do with the style dialog not updating immediately after changing scores. This issue here is about the Inspector and a single score. That bug is already fixed for 3.5, see #295544: Actions applied during text editing more automatically revert on return to normal mode

I have been trying this and it does not seem to work in my case. Any other ideas?

If you use the Inspector to change the font and/or size, be sure you are not in text edit mode.(Look at the Status Bar in the lower right corner of the screen.) Press Esc if you're not sure.
So... simply put, enter all your text first. Any time later, if you wish to make a font/size change, single click on a text then make the change in the Inspector. The change should 'stick', as a single click does not put you in text edit mode.
