Lose Changes to Style When Document ReOpened
Hi,
You may be interested to know I did explicitly change the font colour setting for style A, but then the error would occur on reopening the document (so there is a "bug" somewhere) you did not change the Design, you did not change the Styles Set? Did you modify a character style, a paragraph style, or a linked style? You just modified this one style, you did not modify the basis style? Click into the formatted text and press SHIFT + F1. In the "Reveal Formatting" pane enable "Distinguish style source". Then, which information does the pane show for your text? When opening the document by "Open and Repair": Does any error message occur? Your also can send me the document for analysing. -- Cheers, Lisa |

Lose Changes to Style When Document ReOpened
I have found a partial remedy to the lost styles problem, which is: I have defined my styles as a "quick style set". Each time I re-open the document, the styles are reverted to some default, but by applying my quick style set I can regain my styles. Still, it is annoying that I have to do it each and every time I open the document. Isn't there any possibility to cause the style definitions to stay? (Preferably one that does not involve templates...)

Lose Changes to Style When Document ReOpened
If styles change when you (re-)open a document, you need to do the
following: In the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box, clear the option to "Automatically update document styles." To display the dialog box: First display the Developer tab on the ribbon by selecting it at File tab | Options | Customize Ribbon. Then, on the Developer tab, click Document Template. (These instructions apply to Word 2010 and 2013.) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ...

I've been able to correct the 0.25 Left Indent added to some table cells when re-opening the document. But I'm unable to resolve the 0.25 Hanging Indent added to some table cells. I can't simply reapply the style because the table cell content has additional formatting that is unique to the cell. Reapplying the style causes everything within the cell to assume the style definition properties. |

Have just tried it and it works. (It is possible to reach the necessary option
without messing with the ribbon, via File options add-ins manage templates). Thank you!

For an even more convenient way you can add the Document Template button to
the Quick Access Toolbar. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ... Have just tried it and it works.

Lose Changes to Style When Document ReOpened
I am having a lot of trouble with my word table cells.
After I have shaded the cell into a different colour, it changes back to no colour again everytime I reopen the document. What is so annoying is that there are only some cells where this problem occurs. So I end up with tables with missing shaded cells here and there but I just can't seem to fix it. Does anyone have any idea? |

Is this shading applied to text or to the actual cell? Shading applied to
text would not fill the cell unless the text fills the cell. Text shading may also be affected by "Automatically update document styles" in the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ...
