Tabs in Templates used in Word 97
Hi, This problem occurs when using Word 97 under Windows XP... Created a template with Heading Styles (named Heading 1, Heading 2, etc...) - template has a unique name (i.e. not Normal) Whenever a document which is based on this template is opened each of the Heading gains a tab setting which is not part of the formatting. Also they lose any indent settings Example: Heading 1 is formatted with a -0.5" left indent, and a +0.5" hanging indent, but NO TABS (I select 'clear all tabs' when creating the style) When the document is opened the formatting of the style changes to a +0.25" indent and +0.25" tab setting) All other settings (font/paragraph etc) are retained. Other headings behave in a similar way. This kind of negates the benefit of using a template, as we have to reformat documents each time we open them. Any help gratefully received - as long as the answer isn't "upgrade to Office XP!" ... I don't control the budgets here :-) Thanks in advance, Shaun -- shaun |

Hi Shaun,
This problem occurs when using Word 97 under Windows XP... Created a template with Heading Styles (named Heading 1, Heading 2, etc...) - template has a unique name (i.e. not Normal) Whenever a document which is based on this template is opened each of the Heading gains a tab setting which is not part of the formatting. Also they lose any indent settings It sounds as if you've associated a numbering format with the Heading styles. The indents and tabs in the number format will override those defined in a paragraph format.
