Word 2003 Styles problem
In Word 2000, our company created a simple template (from a pre-existing
document that contained undesireable numbered list styles). We cleaned up the undesireable style components by adjusting tab stops, First Line, Hanging and Left Indents, etc., so that our template contained only the corrected number list styles. This was done so that, using the Organizer, styles from this template could be copied over (and thus replace) undesireable styles in an existing document. This process worked well to rid unwanted styles from those documents. Recently, we upgraded to Office 2003. The above process, however, no longer seems to have an affect on the existing documents. They seem to retain the same number list style characteristics as were present prior to the template styles being copied over. Is there a setting I can make to solve this? Thanks. Hundreds of documents are affected, and while this might seem trivial, it's a problem that needs a solution. Thank you for any suggestions you may have! Steve C. |

Word 2003 Styles problem
I would recommend saving your template as a text file, opening it in
notepad, copying the text into a new template and set up your numbering in that template. 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.) This is based on ...
