I only ever apply bullet styles to text.
I think the answer is to delete the styles and start over. It's probably the
safest thing to do when bullets or numbered steps become corrupted.
Just as long as Word is not balking at having bullets in tables, which,
judging from the responses to my post, it does not.
Thanks very much for your help.

If you need only three levels of bullets, it shouldn't matter that you've
customized/linked only three levels. How are you applying the bullets? Are
you applying the styles and/or using Promote/Demote?

Actually, I did two things differently:
[] On the Outline Numbered tab, I chose the second pane from the right in
the bottom row. But I never deviated from it when editing the style.
[] I only did three levels of bullets, not five.
Has this poisoned my bullet styles?
Thanks,

It says to select the Outline Numbered tab, which I did. I could have
made a
mistake somewhere during the set up, although I did try to be careful and
follow Shauna's instructions.

In my MS Word 2003 template, I have created bullets that are to be
used in
tables. (The text in my tables is one point smaller than regular body
text.)
I used Shauna Kelly's excellent instructions 'How to control bullets
in
Microsoft'.
I have created three levels of bullets and they look great, but other
styles
(headers, footers and cover page text) have suddenly become
corrupted.
The corruption is consistent: The corrupted styles have all been
formatted
with my third level table bullet style. They use the same bullet and
are
indented by the same amount as the third level table bullet style.
When I
remove the third level bullet, the corruption goes away.
Any idea on what is causing the problem and how I can fix it?
Thanks,
Jean
