Actually, "it's just one of those weird Word things" is a completely unacceptable answer. It's a glitch to put it nicely. A programmer didn't do his or her job fully.

We (people who do documents for a living!) need this! Fix it, Microsoft.

This was first posted in '08. I am encountering this problem now (only because I am now employed from 08 and hadn't used these features in years). I've had my template built -- using small caps in Heading 1 and now can't get my Appendices Heading 1 (aka Heading 6) to match. Ridiculous. So much for automation. Perhaps I'll have to resort to typing those by hand. Ugh.

Hi Group,
I have a question about using Small Caps in the €œDefine new Multilevel list€�
feature in Word 2007. Whew, say that three times fast! Okay, here is my
situation. I have a manual that has several chapters within it and the page
numbers are written like this: 1-1. Meaning Section 1, page 1. The
titles/headings of the chapters written like this: Section 1, Section 2, etc.
Using Styles I am able to make changes in the €œDefine new Multilevel list€�
feature, and I have set up the word €œSection€� to automatically appear at the
beginning of each chapter when I use the Heading 1 style. The problem I have
is I cannot format the word €œSection€� as I wish. The Small Caps option is
grayed out and I am unable to check this feature. It is so weird because
every other option is there in the Font options box, even All Caps. Has
anyone ever experienced this? Hope this was clear, please let me know if I
need to clarify what it is I am trying to do. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Thelisha

Unfortunately, this is a known limitation of Word.

Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for your response. I thought this would not be a difficult thing to
do. At least I know it wasn't something I had done with Word. Do you know if
they plan on fixing this or is it just one of those weird Word things?
Thanks,
Thelisha
