I think the problem stems from numbered paragraphs that are too close
together. Word wants to force this into an Outline Numbering system. In most cases that may be correct, but many of my documents quote from other sources with their own numbering systems. My only solution is to use outline numbering as much as possible, but the extra quote lists are a challenge. What I will have to do is manually number the quoted lists to prevent word from including them in the outline numbering. Unfortunately, nobody else wants to "fiddle with styles", and the resulting documents explode when anyone other than the author opens it up. Thank you all for your time and thought in trying to solve my problem. Merle "Klaus Linke" wrote: In that case, I'm out of ideas. You could mail me a sample where setting "Start at" doesn't work (and messes up the formatting)... probably a couple of paragraphs that show the problem should be enough ). Regards, Klaus "Merle" schrieb im Newsbeitrag news I didn't make that line clear: When I say "I make sure the correct pane is highlighted", I mean that I visually confirm that the highlighted pane is the one that has the style name in it. I don't actually click on a pane. "Klaus Linke" wrote: "Merle" wrote: I first try right-clicking on the number that should be changed to "1", which works about half the time. When that doesn't work, I select the numbering option within the Style dialog box. Since the radio button is grayed out (or doesn't even exist), I make sure the correct pane is highlighted [...] It is already! If you change to some other pane (list gallery entry), you'll assign a different list template, and that's the reason why setting the "start at" value doesn't work, and why your indents and other formatting change. and click on Customize. I set the start-at value to 1 and click OK. The target number doesn't change, but the formatting for that style changes drastically. Regards, Klaus |
