Weird document - two paragraph styles in one document
Can anyone help with this problem? I have a document which is displaying two
or more paragraph styles in a single paragraph. There is no hidden paragraph marks in the paragraph. The style appears as one style in the style area, but as a different style in the style box, and as you cursor across the paragraph it changes to yet another different style. So it behaves as if the styles showing in the styles box are character styles, but they are defined as paragraph styles. One paragraph shows Heading 4 in styles area, and Normal in the styles box. I thought it was a one-off but have now come across it again a completely different document. Any ideas what could cause this? And any ideas how to fix it? In the first document, deleting the secondary styles or removing character formatting from each paragraph fixed it, but the second document has too much paragraph formatting (including complex hypertext links) that I'd rather not have to do this. I'm on Word 2000. |

Weird document - two paragraph styles in one document
Perhaps some of the styles are character (rather than paragraph) styles? If
you go to Format | Style, there will be either a paragraph mark (¶) or a bold underlined "a" beside the style. The ones with "a" are character styles. -- Suzanne S.

Weird document - two paragraph styles in one document
I checked the styles and they are all paragraph styles, although they do
behave like as if they were character styles. One of them was a combination of heading 4 and normal in the same paragraph. "Suzanne S.

Weird document - two paragraph styles in one document
It sounds very much as if either a style separator or a hidden paragraph
mark has been used. -- Suzanne S.

It's horrid. No style separator - we are using Word 2000 and no hidden
paragraph mark etiher. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: It sounds very much as if either a style separator or a hidden paragraph mark has been used. -- Suzanne S.

The document could be corrupt. Try this: Press Ctrl+A to select the
entire document, and then press Shift+Left Arrow to deselect the final paragraph mark. Copy and paste into a new document. For more on document corruption, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Kimmi" wrote in message ... It's horrid.
