Word 2003 Formating.
Greetings:
I have a 300 page book that has a lot of different headings and inconsistent formatting. I want to: 1. Simplify it to only 3 heading level, one font, and a few basic font type face, and only three types of bullets. 2. At the same time I MUST KEEP THE COMPLEX INDEX that had been created over time. Is there an easy way to do this. Happy new year |

Assigning new paragraph styles to the paragraphs in the document won't
affect the index markers. On Jan 7, 10:07*pm, Baha wrote: Greetings: I have a 300 page book that has a lot of different headings and inconsistent formatting. *I want to: 1.

Word 2003 Formating.
As Peter says, changing heading styles (or any styles) won't affect your
index, which is based on XE fields (they're formatted as Hidden text, so it would be a good idea to have that displayed so you don't inadvertently delete any of them). If by "index," however, you mean a table of contents (TOC), then this is a different issue. By default, a TOC is based on heading styles, so applying heading styles sensibly would allow you to create a sensible TOC. -- Suzanne S.
