Bizarre style switching
When I combined 5 docs, all made from the same normal template, in the same
style, using only Header 1, Header 3, Normal and Caption, some of my tables switch into Caption font which is messing all the layout up. Most bizarrely, when I select the table or even the raw table contents and click "Clear Formatting" or apply the "Normal" style to it, that works for a second then it jumps back to Caption before my eyes. No idea what the heck is going on - anyone have an idea? |

Hi Lee,
Could you mail me a stipped-down version of the doc that shows the problem? My guess is that the table style might have got linked to the link style of the caption style. (I will be on vacation shortly for two weeks, so my reply may take some time) If you know some VBA, you could check out ? ActiveDocument.Styles("Caption").LinkStyle If that gives you anything but "Normal", maybe even a table style, that would be a sign that my guess might be true. But it is just an idea I thought of because I had similiar problems in the past. Word won't let me link the styles that way using VBA to test the theory.

Hi Lee,
BTW, if it's some other kind of table corruption, you might try to convert the tables to tab-delimited text and back. Though that may take a lot of re-formatting if the tables aren't simple :-( Regards, Klaus |
