Default Bullet and numbering is greyed out, can't click.

Hi ?B?QmFycnkgSHVsbA==?=,

Yes Cindy, this is odd. I checked the fields and there is nothing other than
text. I did however, originally cut and paste the document from my company's
web site in order to do some editing. I was wondering about some sort of file
damage as well. Another interesting point, I discovered that when I change
the document view, between normal, print, and outline view, even keeping the
cursor in the same position, that sometimes the ability to click or not comes
and goes. I found that by having the document in outline view sometimes I am
able to overcome this problem, but switching back to print view the problem
reappears. By the way, this problem is in at least 10 places in my document.
Weird huh? Maybe I need to reload office. I am using office 2003.

Mmmm. Could indeed be something coming from pasting from a web site.

If you're game, there are a couple of tests we could try. For example: if you
select such a paragraph, Edit/Cut, then Edit/Paste Special and paste as plain
text, does the problem go away for that paragraph?

How about if you save the document as a web-page? In RTF format? Does it go away
in either case?
