Thanks! I think this is exactly what I want, but when I choose some face,
e.g. 'italic' or 'Info-title-2-face', there is no change in my
text-property. It does not change compared to the old one.

One question to this function. Shouldn't I be able to call the function
'put-text-property' with 'M-x'? I can't find it... Ah, I see, probably just
because it is a build-in function!?
