Default Lose Changes to Style When Document ReOpened

For an even more convenient way you can add the Document Template button to
the Quick Access Toolbar.

Have just tried it and it works. (It is possible to reach the necessary
option
without messing with the ribbon, via File options add-ins manage
templates).
Thank you!

If styles change when you (re-)open a document, you need to do the

following: In the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box, clear the option to

"Automatically update document styles."



To display the dialog box: First display the Developer tab on the ribbon
by

selecting it at File tab | Options | Customize Ribbon. Then, on the

Developer tab, click Document Template. (These instructions apply to Word

2010 and 2013.)

I have found a partial remedy to the lost styles problem, which is: I
have


defined my styles as a "quick style set". Each time I re-open the


document, the styles are reverted to some default, but by applying my


quick style set I can regain my styles. Still, it is annoying that I
have


to do it each and every time I open the document. Isn't there any


possibility to cause the style definitions to stay? (Preferably one
that


does not involve templates...)

Hi,








You may be interested to know I did explicitly change the font
colour




setting for style A,




but then the error would occur on reopening the document (so there
is a




"bug" somewhere)








you did not change the Design, you did not change the Styles Set? Did
you




modify a character style, a paragraph style, or a linked style? You
just




modified this one style, you did not modify the basis style?








Click into the formatted text and press SHIFT + F1. In the "Reveal




Formatting" pane enable "Distinguish style source". Then, which


information




does the pane show for your text?








When opening the document by "Open and Repair": Does any error message




occur?








Your also can send me the document for analysing.
