What was it they said about a picture being worth more than a 1000 words? ;-)

I can see what the problem is now. The Manage Styles window lists styles that it finds in the document that is *currently the active document in the Document Window*. However, you set up the Manage Styles panel as a document window document as well. So, as soon as you put focus on the Manage Styles window in the Document Window, your ASPX page looses focus and the Manage Styles has nothing to display anymore.

Simply undock the Manage Styles window to remove it from the Document Window, dock it with another tool panel like the Toolbox on the left or the Properties Window on the right and you should be OK. The Document Window showing your ASPX and the Manage Styles window can then live side by side and the latter will find styles associated with the page in the former.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Imar
