why would changing a style modify other styles (not based on each
I've created a template and styles. Specifically I didn't like the default
outlining conventions. I noticed I need 2 more levels of indent (levels 8 and 9). I accessed those and added them to my template, and then used the modify styles box to format it properly. I DID indicate that level 8, for example, was supposed to be based on level 7. When I make the changes, level 8 looks good, but now levels 1, 2, etc are off. Why would changing a style 8 levels down and customizing its options throw off the entire document? |

With numbered styles, the number position and indent aren't stored in =
the style, but in the list template. And editing any of the styles can mess up the list template (... read: = the indents of the other 8 styles). So for one, keep in mind that the indents defined in the paragraph style = might get removed... Best, don't define such indents at all for outline = numbered styles. And then, don't modify the indents (=3D number position, text position = in the numbering dialog) of the individual styles. Instead, always only = modify the top level style, and then navigate to the list level (=3D = style) whose indent you want to modify from there. Else, Word is very likely to mess up the original list template. Greetings, Klaus "futureknight" wrote: I've created a template and styles.
