Random Changes in Styles
I am using Word 2007 and have been using Styles quite a bit lately. However
styles seem to be very buggy. Setting seem to change on there own all the time. I am an advanced computer user and I know that i am not making the changes myself. I am the only user on the computer as well. The latest is that all of the default styles have decided that they want to be centered. So all of the headings, the body text, etc. have decided that they want to be centered. It is quite a pain that every time I create a new document, i have to modidy every style that I use so that it doesn't center everything. Is there a way to reset all of the default styles back to their defaults? And am I the only one seeing these erratic behaviors with the styles? Thanks. |

Random Changes in Styles
That would explain one or two styles changing, but not all. And it also
wouldn't explain why it changed them all for the default styles (new documents). Thanks for the information though. "Suzanne S.

Random Changes in Styles
If Normal is set to update automatically, then all styles based on Normal
(which is almost all of them) would also be changed. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "dan" wrote in message ...

OK,
That makes sense. But what could i have done that would have made them all change to centered. And how can I change them back? Thanks for your help. "Suzanne S.

Well, you can start by making sure that none of the styles are set to update
automatically. Beyond that, you can either drop back to an earlier version of the document or go back and modify the styles as required. -- Suzanne S.

Right. But is there any way to just reset all of the default styles back to
the way they were when I first installed. The styles are all messed up even for "new" documents, so going back to an earlier version is not an option. Thanks again. Dan "Suzanne S.

If you want to revert to Word's default Normal.dot styles, you can reattach
the Normal template with "Automatically update styles" checked. If the styles have been changed in Normal.dot, you can revert to the factory default by renaming Normal.dot; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm for instructions. -- Suzanne S.
