Turning off Outline Feature
When I insert a table from another document into a current document, the
heading has the outline feature turned on somehow because the heading comes out looking like this: asdlfjkas A. First Line of Title sldfjasdjf B. Second Line of Title lsadjfljsaldfj There is regular text to the left of the table, i.e., asdlfjkas . . .. The A. and B. First Line of Title and Second Line of Title is the actual table insert. I tried text wrapping and everything else I could think of. Yet, when I insert the same document into a blank document, the outline feature doesn't happen. This led me to believe that somewhere in the current document the outline feature is turned on. I looked everywhere!!! The only place that I see the outline feature turned on is in the table and the selection is grayed out so I can't change it it to body text. HELP! The table has |

Hi Sharon
The problem is almost certainly caused by a not-very-helpful use of styles in the souce document. There's more information at: Why does text change format when I copy it into another document? http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/styl...xtChanges.html The usual solution to this problem is to use Edit Paste Special and paste into your document as unformatted text. However, if you do this in your context, you will lose the table structure. So you will have to select what you pasted and choose Table Convert Text to Table to get the table structure back. Alternatively, you can: 1. Remove the numbering from the styles in the recipient document. To do that, follow the steps at How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft Word document http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html 2. Change the styles used in the source document. 3. Change the styles in the destination docment after you've pasted. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
