I clicked on the link you attached as I'm having this problem. But I'm using
Word 2003. I think the orig doc was created in an older version (maybe
2002). I wasn't the one to open it up originally but it was probably
converted to 2003--the cause of the formatting mess. Am I correct? and your
advice to fix?

I would like to raise the issue that two hours were lost today fighting
bizarre formatting issues in the Word document. I have the latest version
of
Office (2003) and it behaves much as the last. I am not sure what the
source
of the problem is, but it is frustrating when, after updating the table of
contents, you lose all your section breaks or when you set an item to have
a
bullet and then all the items have bullets. These are a few examples;
there
were other problems. I found that typing ctrl-Z (undo) usually restores
the
document to what it should be, but I am now getting new problems I cannot
quickly see.

Any help would be great.

Cheers,

Donald
