Footer table styles take on new styles
I have a table in a footer that has several footer styles that I have
named (e.g. Footer Body, Footer Table Head, etc.) Sometimes in a document for reasons I can't figure, the text will take on other styles (such as a Title style) usually causing my tables to expand astronomically and causing much distress. Any idea what is happening? Also, sometimes I open my document and find all my rules around my tables have disappeared. Where should I be looking for the problem? |

Make sure you have "Define styles based on your formatting" disabled (Tools
| AutoCorrect Options | AutoFormat As You Type). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "MLBeck" wrote in message ...

Footer table styles take on new styles
I suppose that could be the problem in some instances, but I always
keep that unchecked. I am making templates for others, and the user that had the problem had it unchecked as well. It's hard to know exactly when the problem occurs sometimes because it mainly occurs in the table I have in the footer of the cover page and you don't notice it till you go back to that page or reopen the document. And it happens pretty rarely. My template has macros that update that footer when new information is entered and it generally works as advertised, but I just can't figure out what is happening when this blowup occurs (and it's hard for a user to know what he did that might have caused it). Thanks for the reply. I will at least keep that in mind as a possibility sometimes. |

I've seen this happen spontaneously too. Several times, I was able to undo
all changes until the table style was fine again, and every time the action that caused the corruption of the table style was the deletion of a linked (paragraph/character) style. It hasn't happened lately though, so perhaps make sure you have all the latest updates installed?
