Bullet inconsistency between .dot and .doc
I have a template with 4 levels of bullet lists (with corresponding bullet
sublists). Everything looks perfect in the .dot file. The template is attached to a doc. But on the doc, most of the bullet lists and sublists are changed to numbered lists, and the indentation isn't correct. This is driving me crazy - I've verified everything I can think of: -- the template is saved, closed, and in the correct Templates folder -- I've opened, closed the doc, and I've attached and re-attached the correct template from the correct location multiple times. -- I open the docs side-by-side and for example, "List Bullet 4" still looks correct in the dot file but "List Bullet 4" (the identical tag/style) is numbered and left-justified in the doc. Words normal numbered lists are not even part of the template. (I've created auto-text entries for numbered lists). Any ideas? |

Bullet inconsistency between .dot and .doc
When you attached the template to the document, did you check the
'automatically update styles' check box? Otherwise the style parameters in the document will be retained. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CrazyChester wrote: I have a template with 4 levels of bullet lists (with corresponding bullet sublists).

Thanks, Graham. Yes, I had the box selected. Going to Style Gallery seemed to
resolve the issue -- I'm not clear on exactly why or how, but it did. Thank you again for your feedback.
