    how to change dynamic text and keep format

    Hi,
    I hope this is an easy one to explain to me.

    How do I change dynamic text so that only the selected text changes?

    Currently I have imported text into a feild of s template to replace the jibberish the designer put in.

    I lost my textformatting. I figured maybe I did not import in the right format and would reformat in Flash. Howeve,r when dymamic text is selected format in flash, if I highlight and select BOLD, the entire body of text changes as well. I only wanted the highlighted section to change.

    IF I switch back to static text I cand format as normal, but I loose my scroll bar. It no longer works.
    After I adjust the text if I change back to dynamic from static, I loose all that work. The text goes to a uniform look.

    How can I import text and have the formatting remain and why does all the text change, when it is dymamic text even though I have text highlighted?
    Why does the scroll bar not work in static text?

    I am new to Flash and have been struggling to figure things out on my own so I am not seeking some help to speed things along.

    I am using Flash 8 Pro and bought a template which I am learning how to alter. So any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks!
