You must be referring to this page:
http://12000.org/my_notes/how_to_write_package_in_mathematica/index.htm
But I do NOT see anywhere in the above document where it says to do what
you did on your own initiative, which is
"and also changed the style to "code",
Why did you do that for?
How about trying the same steps again, but do not change the style to code? and
see if that works.
When I tried the the steps myself, it worked, but I did not have to change
style to code. There was no reason to.
