Re-starting List Number numbering changes text to another style
If I re-start numbering in List Number style (Word 03), the style changes to
Caption, and adds numbers to all of the instances of Caption style throughout the document (yes, several dozen tables). Yesterday, when I attempted to get rid of the Caption's mysteriously added new numbering, Word crashes. So I dumped the doc into a new blank one using the same template -- this allowed me to then fix the Caption style and use List Number. Now it's happened again today. However, instead of crashing when I attempt to rid the Caption style of its new, spurious numbering, it just ignores my changes in the style's definition. How can I fix this problem? |

In addition, even though we are not using the Reviewing feature, every time I
open the doc, I have to turn OFF the Final Showing Markup view. Thanks...

And why is it that local Paragraph changes to the Body Text style are
changing *globally* even though the style is set to NOT Automatically Update?

Re-starting List Number numbering changes text to another styl
And why is it that when I attempt to circumvent the Re-start numbering issue
noted above by instead using the basic Numbering toolbar button, pressing it changes the selected paragraph's style from Normal to Heading 1?? PLEASE -- Is there a FAQ on how to develop *********RELIABLE********** Word templates and documents? I've got engineers ****ed at me, who think I don't know how to do my job because of all of these issues. When I insist on using Templates and all sorts of automated features, only to have them FAIL me, I look like an incompetent @ss and risk them DEMANDING that I use NO styles, templates, etc.!!!!

On the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect Options, be sure
you don't have "Define styles based on your formatting" checked. For help with numbering, see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html -- Suzanne S.

This usually indicates that the document contains markup (it could be left
over tracked changes or comments). But see €śReview Toolbar Annoyance€ť at http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=221 -- Suzanne S.

Re-starting List Number numbering changes text to another styl
Changes to the style *should* update globally. If you're making changes to a
specific paragraph in the style, the change should not be propagated if you don't have "Automatically update" checked. -- Suzanne S.
