Multiple settings. If multiple paragraphs are selected and they have different attributes applied to them, PageMaker returns -2 or an empty string (depending upon the data type) for the parameters with conflicting settings.

Pointer tool active. If the pointer tool is active, PageMaker gets the default settings.
