Default Paragraph Font Para Char Char Word2003 Die!!
You have to be kidding!!!
Not that I make a habit of applying Paragraph styles to selected text, but I have to work with other people's Word documents. Believe it or not, most people are NOT Word gurus. I've had the misfortune to inherit about 1,000 documents that all display "Default Paragraph Font Para Char Char" as the "paragraph style" for practically every paragraph. I searched for "solutions" to this obvious bug (aka "feature), and found this: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1872585.php If that is the best solution anyone can come up with, then there is something fundamentally broken in Word, and it has been since 2002. I do not have time to copy the text into a new document as Plain text and reformat. But I would like to know what paragraph styles have been applied. How am I supposed to make "global" changes to a style unless I can tell what it is? Guess which one it might be? Is this fixed in Office 2005? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
