Styles being knocked 'out of line'
I've recently updated the styles of a lot of our documents. I've had a
couple of occasions where users seem to have clicked and dragged something to make the indent of the numbered paragraphs change. I've had to go into the style formatting and modify it to fix it but I haven't been able to replicate the problem to explain it properly. As anyone seen this happening before. |

It happens if the style is set to 'automatically update' as part of its
definition. "Jackie" wrote in message ups.com... I've recently updated the styles of a lot of our documents.

Thanks for replying Jezebel, but this is definitely NOT in any of my
style definitions. |

Styles being knocked 'out of line'
Hi Jackie
Numbered paragraphs don't respond well to being copied and pasted between documents. That might have caused the initial problem, and users' attempts at fixing that might have made it even worse. For each troublesome paragraph, triple-click to select it and do ctrl-spacebar and ctrl-q. That takes out any direct formatting and returns the paragraph to its original state. Hope this helps.

Styles being knocked 'out of line'
Thanks Shauna. I've tried that but it doesn't work, it's as though the
paragraph style has been updated, as Jezebel says above. Is there any way a user applying direct formating to one paragraph can update the styles without them realising? And is there anyway a user can have something ticked in their options which would do this? The copying/pasting is possibly the link here as this will have been done. |

I hope you haven't been modifying the indentation of numbered paragraphs using the Format Style Dialog. If both the list template and the style try to set the indentation, Word can get a bit confused. For numbered paragraphs, define indentation in the list template *only*, and attach the various styles to the appropriate levels of your list template. -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup Keep your VBA code safe, sign the ClassicVB petition www.classicvb.org |
