Hi, 

There is a macro qualified as experimental called "\switchstyleonly" that
can be used like: 

  \bf \switchstyleonly\ss

where \ss is an argument to \switchstyleonly. This macro is defined in
font-ini

However, the following alternative is more comnforming the interface 

\unprotect 

\definecomplexorsimple\switchstyleonly

\def\simpleswitchstyleonly#1%
  {\complexswitchstyleonly[\strippedcsname#1]}

\def\complexswitchstyleonly[#1]% final version
  {\let\savedfontalternative=\fontalternative
   \getvalue{\getvalue{\@shortstyle@#1}}%
   \getvalue{\savedfontalternative}}

\protect 

You can put this in cont-new.tex and use it as: 

{\bf text \switchstyleonly\ss text}            % dirty but [] save
{\bf text \switchstyleonly[ss]text}
{\sl text \switchstyleonly[sansserif]text}

This may solve the problems with switching to ss in bold discussed earlier.
I must admit that i never used it and had forgotten about this command -)  

Hans
