losing formating when open doc
Hello,
I use format styles for all of my formatting. I created a table style and several body/heading styles. Occasionally, I will save and close a document, and then when I open it up the next day, all of the tables have lost their formatting and/or taken on random format styles. I have to go through and manually reapply the table style to every table in the document. Although it mostly affects tables, other styles also go haywire - e.g., a body style will suddenly appear as a heading. I basically have to go through and reformat the entire document, which takes a lot of time. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?! I did notice that on the most recent file it happened with, someone else had worked on the same file. Does that mean that if you are using styles, no one else can work on that document? That would create a huge problem, since I've created numerous templates using the styles.... thanks Jen |

In the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box, is the "Automatically update
document styles" option checked? If so, clear it. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "jen_writer" wrote: Hello, I use format styles for all of my formatting.

Note that if users apply direct formatting, you can get rid of it by
selecting the text and pressing Ctrl+Q (clears paragraph formatting not in style) as well as Ctrl+SpaceBar (clears font formatting not in style). Or are you saying that the problem is with table styles only? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "jen_writer" wrote in message ... no, the box is not checked. thanks Jen "Stefan Blom" wrote: In the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box, is the "Automatically update document styles" option checked?
