Undesirable behavior by Word
After getting my document just perfect, bizarre changes occur for no apparent
reason. These include: - all bullets disappearing - a long series of paragraph marks being inserted into the footer so that the footer takes up half the page - a long series of paragraph marks being inserted above the footnotes so that the footnote section takes up half the page (you see the line separating the text from the footnotes and then 11 double-spaced blank lines that I cannot remove, then the actual footnote with its number) |

Ceresetta was telling us:
Ceresetta nous racontait que : After getting my document just perfect, bizarre changes occur for no apparent reason.

(When opening after having saved, when merely saving, while typing, etc.) Is the problem local to one document or is it a generalized thing? What Word version? -- ______________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil Montreal, Canada |

Undesirable behavior by Word
It's Word 2007. As far as I know it's just this one document. The document
was originally written in Italian in several different pieces. I translated them into English and put all the pieces together into one document. These are the behavoirs: 1. I want to center align some text (which is followed by a paragraph mark). I highlight it, click the center align button and the whole document center aligns! I click "undo" and the document goes back to normal BUT I do have the bit of text center aligned as I wanted it. This may also happen with boldface. Recapping: in order to get what I want, I have to click the command and then click "undo". 2. My document is written in Times New Roman, it is double spaced, I have bullet points here and there. But I have a table with a word in italics that I want in normal font. I highlight the word and hit Control + I on the keyboard. Result? The whole document goes single spaced, my bullets disappear and I find a mixed font. Usually if I hit "undo" I can save things. 3. But, the really evil thing that happens while all this other stuff is going on is that paragraph marks get added into the footnote space. So, on a page where there is a footnote, instead of having the footnote at the bottom in a space that is just big enough for it, with a line over it separating it from the main text, I have the footnote at the bottom with about 10 double-spaced paragraph marks above it in this empty space, and I have found no way to get at them so I can delete them. My mouse cannot "touch" them, the find function cannot find them. I found out that if you punch your LCD display it doesn't work anymore.
