Styles being knocked 'out of line'
Could one of the MVPs confirm then, that sometimes, if a user attempts
to modify a style (or in some cases restarts numbering) then the format of that style can update itself and will apply in that format through the document? Surely this can't be right? |

Surely this can't be right? Hi Jackie, If the document isn't protected, any user can modify any style. "Restart numbering" should not mess with the styles, if they are properly set up. (I am carefully not saying it can't happen... only that it doesn't seem likely) But if a user makes modifications in "Format Bullets and numbering", then yes, these changes will be applied to the styles. And (as has been said) if users copy numbered paragraphs from documents based on your template to some other document (or vice versa), pretty much anything can happen (...usually bad things). In Word2003, you can protect documents against formatting changes, and allow certain styles only. "Format Bullets and numbering" and a lot of other things will then be grayed out (so users can't restart lists any more either, unless you supply special macros for that). :-( Klaus |
