Losing format after saving
After manually formatting a bunch of bullet, numbered, and lettered lists, I
save the file. However, when I hit save, I lose most of my formatting. Also, when I reopen the file at a later point, the formatting is gone. I've tried over and over again, with the same problem. What is causing this? Should I turn off all the autoformatting options? If so, will this cause any autoformatting already done to disappear? I would assume no. |

See: How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Word
document http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. (For bullets see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bull...olbullets.html, the subject is related.) Under Tools Templates and Add-Ins, if the box is checked to update styles, uncheck it. Most experienced users turn off many of the autoformat as you type options. I have all the ones under "Apply as you type" and "Automatically as you type" unchecked. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
