Auto numbers and stuff
Okay, I am about fed up with Word and its special features.
I am working on a document about 180 pages filled with auto numbers of various styles (another headache question for another day). It's bad enough the numbers get funky. When you modify a style and click 'automatically update' you can't open the document on another computer without every auto number going crazy. which is why i was hired to fix this document. but now with that fixed, every time i put in a table, whether I copy/paste or make it from scratch, the computer/Word bogs down incredibly, to the point Word says "not responding." Well...duh. Okay, perusing this website I learned about the caca with 'auto update' (though I don't know what the purpose of that option is) but.. How do I stop Word from going goofy when I put anything other than plain text in the document....like bold, table, a box with text in it. There really aren't many of them in the document, I'm worked documents with many, many more...and had the same issues then. Can any one help me? -- Steph |

Auto numbers and stuff
Hi Stephanie
To help you out, we will probably need some information about what you're experiencing that is more specific than "funky", "crazy" "caca" and "goofy". Can you tell us what version of Word you're working with, and how the auto numbers have been applied? And, when you mention 'automatically update' is this automatically updating a single style (on the Modify Style dialog) or automatically updating styles from their template (on the Templates and Add-ins dialog). Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Stephanie" wrote in message ... Okay, I am about fed up with Word and its special features.
