Styles Not Working
I am using Word 2000
I have this 40 page document that I need a table of contents for. I started to go in and put the styles where I wanted them. I used "Heading 1" for the main topic (level 1) and wanted to use "Heading 2" for the 2nd level topics. I highlight the words and click on the "style" space in the toolbar, select "heading 2" but it will not change it. It stays "normal" even though the words bolded as in the heading 2 style. Why won't this change? Can anyone give me some help. I am working on Sunday, so that I can get this project off my desk and really do not want to waste my day because I can not get the style to work properly. Can anyone HELP?????? Please!!!! Aurora |

To apply a (heading) style, make sure that the entire paragraph is
selected or that you have nothing selected (that the insertion point is blinking); otherwise Word applies the font format only. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Aurora" wrote in message ...

Make sure that you select the entire paragraph (for example by
triple-clicking in the paragraph) before you apply the style. Alternatively, make sure nothing is selected at all, so that you can see the insertion point blinking, and then apply the style. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Aurora" wrote in message ...
