Numbers in caption get a strikethrough
Hi folks!
I have a document with a lot of tables. I use captions with automatic numbering, including the number form Heading 1. My problem is that the number that refers to the Heading is formatted with a double strikethrough (only the one number - the rest of the caption and the table number is OK). Also in the cross references to the chapters or the tables the heading number has this format. This is only visible on the printout (not in the document and not in the print preview). The problem might have arised when I used Track Changes earlier. I have tried to select the entire document and accept all changes. I have also tried to remove all numbers in headings and in captions and renumbering them. All without any luck. I appreciate any help! |

Which version of Word is this? Recent versions have an option to Accept All
Changes in Document, which usually works. If you also turn off Track Changes and update the cross-reference fields (for example by selecting the whole document and pressing F9), that should fix it. If it still doesn't work, copy the contents of the file into a new blank document: In the source document, make sure that Track Changes is turned on; in the target document, make sure that Track Changes is turned off, and then copy and paste.

Numbers in caption get a strikethrough
Hi!
I am using Word 2003. I have tried to Accept all changes, and also to update all fields. I have now also tried to copy the document as you described. But the formatting is still there.

This is strange. Reading your original message again, I notice that it
happens only on print. If you try a different printer, does that help? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Elin" wrote in message ... Hi! I am using Word 2003.

You may want to try copying the contents except for the final paragraph mark
(¶) to a new blank document. Does that make a difference? Note that in order to show/hide paragraph marks as well as any nonprinting marks, you can press Ctrl+Shift+8. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Elin" wrote in message ... This is strange.

Numbers in caption get a strikethrough
Hi Elin,
If you use File=Web Page Preview does the number show the strikethrough in the browser? While in the browser if you right click and choose Edit=Source and use 'Find' on the source to look for mailto does it find that string in the file? Can you provide a link to a problem document via blog, webpage or online file storage area? ============= "Elin" wrote in message ... No. Still no luck. Thanks for trying.

Have you tried to clear formatting on the number?
Run open and repair, if Word finds and fixes errors in the numbering or styles, that may clear up the problem. I Word opens cleanly, then the problem may be bad formatting. You haven't said, so I have to ask. How do the numbers in your heading 1s look? In any case, check the number format for outline list level 1. If the double strikethrough is selected or if the "sometimes" square is there in the font dialog, clear it. And if that doesn't help... Unlinked styles (Char char styles) can cause odd formatting behavior, so you might look for those. Search for information about them before trying to delete them. Although I'm not sure how much good they do, I also generally delete unused user-defined styles and delete style aliases when I'm trying to get rid of this kind of error. ...an uncluttered document is a stable document...??

Numbers in caption get a strikethrough
Hi!
The numbers in my headings look like normal. No strikethrough on either heading1 or heading2 (where also the number from heading1 is included). I am sorry but I did not quite understand your instructions. Where do I find open and repair? I cannot find any strikethrough formatting on either the heading or the caption. Where do I find information about unliked styles? And a question about deleting styles: Will the styles be deleted from obly this document or from the Normal.dot template? Thanks so much for helping.

Numbers in caption get a strikethrough
I reread the whole thread and realized that I forgot that this only appears
in print. I think that means that none of my suggestions will be helpful. But to answer your questions... I am sorry but I did not quite understand your instructions. Where do I find open and repair? From within Word's Open dialog, click a file name. On Open button in the lower right corner, click the down arrow. There you'll see Open and Repair. This is a programmatic way of copying everything but the last paragraph mark of a document and pasting it into a new doc, except that open and repair finds€”and repairs€” errors in other places besides that last paragraph mark. Where do I find information about unliked styles? I would search for unlinked styles in the archives of lists like this one, Woody's Lounge, and the Word MVP site. Unlinked styles are also called Char Char styles because char is one of the signals for them. (Have you ever seen Heading 1, Charor Body Text, Char Char Char?) And a question about deleting styles: Will the styles be deleted from obly this document or from the Normal.dot template? Yes, when you delete styles they are only deleted from the document you are in. Sorry about the delay in replying. Got to pay the rent. I hope you've found an answer to your problem Elin wrote: [...] Thanks so much for helping. Elin -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ables/200809/1 |
