What kind of style are you referring to? Paragraph style? Character style? What
settings are lost, exactly? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Connie Maldonado" wrote in message ... I am successfully making changes to a style in Word 2010. When I reopen the document (after saving and closing), the changes are no longer there. Any suggestions? |

Hi,
I am successfully making changes to a style in Word 2010. When I reopen the document (after saving and closing), the changes are no longer there. maybe, following option is enabled: Developer Tools | Templates | Document Template | Automatically Update Document Styles. -- Cheers, Lisa [MS MVP Word] |

I have the same problem:
When I save my Word 2010 document the style looks fine. BUT when I close and reopen the file, the font colour of the style has changed from black to grey. If I try to edit the style it tells me that the font is black (although it is displaying as grey). I have to change the colour of one sentence that uses this style and then update the style to match that sentence. I have to do this every time I open the document. I followed Lisa's recommendation given he but that option is not checked on my PC (Developer Tools | Templates | Document Template | Automatically Update Document Styles) |

If you select the problem text and press Ctrl+SpaceBar, to reset font
formatting to that of the underlying paragraph style, then what happens? Does the grey color print? Does it display in Print Preview? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP I have the same problem: When I save my Word 2010 document the style looks fine.

Thanks Stefan for response. To answer your questions:
Ctrl+SpaceBar doesn't seem to do anything The text appears grey on the screen; in print preview and prints grey Once corrected to black; then it is black on the screen, in print preview and prints black. But I have just found a solution! ... I went to "Modify style" where "Style based on" showed that the style was based on a style with font colour grey. So I changed "Style based on" to "(no style)". I then had to edit the style to be what I wanted it to be. Now when I close and reopen the document it is fine. It's still strange that the problem existed but at I have a solution. |

I'm glad you got it sorted.
Note that when a style A is based on another style B, a particular setting from B is duplicated in A until you explicitly change it in A (or until you set the base style to "(no style)" of course). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP Thanks Stefan for response.

Thanks Stefan. You may be interested to know I did explicitly change the font colour setting for style A, but then the error would occur on reopening the document (so there is a "bug" somewhere)

From time to time I run into the same sort of problem.
I use document templates (even though they are inexplicably hidden in File / Options / Add-ins / change-the-dropdown-or-you'll-never-find-them ). The specific template in use does have "automatically apply updates" checked. I have a bulleted paragraph style, nb, with a left indent of 0.25 inch and a 0.25 inch hanging indent. When I close my document and reopen it, nb paragraphs show up with a 2.75 left indent, which makes them awfully hard to read in a table. I go into the Style pane and modify nb, so that everything looks the way I want it to. When I save, close, and reopen, the 2.75 left indent reappears. While writing this comment, I have gone through the entire cycle: reopened my document to find that Word has failed to preserve my changes; reimposed them by modifying the style from the style panel; saving the document; reopening it once again. Same failure. I used to regard templates and styles as Word's chief virtues. They have become increasingly unreliable and endlessly frustrating. The document in question was part of work I submitted as part of a job application. If after nearly 30 years of working with Word (I started with the demo of Word 1.0 for DOS) I can't rely on it to do what I intend, I might as well use Google docs. |

Since this involves a bulleted paragraph style it might be a completely
different issue. For all numbered and bulleted paragraphs (or paragraph styles), you MUST specify the indentation using the Adjust List Indents command. To find the command (Word 2007 or later), first click to select the actual list symbol (bullet or number); Word selects all symbols belonging to the same list. Then right-click and select Adjust List Indents. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message ... From time to time I run into the same sort of problem.

I get the same problem with paragraph styles. I am writing a dissertation that has APA Level 0 - 5, which define centering, font size, and placement in the Table of Contents. Since I don't really have time to comprehend Microsoft's continual changes to its software, I have a blank document, and then I paste in paragraph-by-paragraph into a copy of the blank document, save it, and re-generate the TOC. It takes hours, and seems ridiculous compared to the five seconds it requires to regenerate a LaTeX document, but I really have no choice.

Hi,
and then I paste in paragraph-by-paragraph into a copy of the blank document, save it, and re-generate the TOC. It takes hours, and seems ridiculous compared to the five seconds it requires to regenerate a LaTeX document, but I really have no choice. Using styles consistently throughout a document, usually ensures a stable/robust document. It is not necessary to copy content into a new document, especially not to copy "paragraph by paragraph". If a document is really damaged, you have to paste content as €œunformatted text€ into a new document. I guess, the problems with your document are not caused by styles, but by other issues. -- Cheers, Lisa |

Hi,
You may be interested to know I did explicitly change the font colour setting for style A, but then the error would occur on reopening the document (so there is a "bug" somewhere) you did not change the Design, you did not change the Styles Set? Did you modify a character style, a paragraph style, or a linked style? You just modified this one style, you did not modify the basis style? Click into the formatted text and press SHIFT + F1. In the "Reveal Formatting" pane enable "Distinguish style source". Then, which information does the pane show for your text? When opening the document by "Open and Repair": Does any error message occur? Your also can send me the document for analysing. -- Cheers, Lisa |

I have found a partial remedy to the lost styles problem, which is: I have defined my styles as a "quick style set". Each time I re-open the document, the styles are reverted to some default, but by applying my quick style set I can regain my styles. Still, it is annoying that I have to do it each and every time I open the document. Isn't there any possibility to cause the style definitions to stay? (Preferably one that does not involve templates...)

If styles change when you (re-)open a document, you need to do the
following: In the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box, clear the option to "Automatically update document styles." To display the dialog box: First display the Developer tab on the ribbon by selecting it at File tab | Options | Customize Ribbon. Then, on the Developer tab, click Document Template.

I've been able to correct the 0.25 Left Indent added to some table cells when re-opening the document. But I'm unable to resolve the 0.25 Hanging Indent added to some table cells. I can't simply reapply the style because the table cell content has additional formatting that is unique to the cell. Reapplying the style causes everything within the cell to assume the style definition properties. |

I am having a lot of trouble with my word table cells.
After I have shaded the cell into a different colour, it changes back to no colour again everytime I reopen the document. What is so annoying is that there are only some cells where this problem occurs. So I end up with tables with missing shaded cells here and there but I just can't seem to fix it. Does anyone have any idea? |

Is this shading applied to text or to the actual cell? Shading applied to
text would not fill the cell unless the text fills the cell.

I am successfully making changes to a style in Word 2010. When I reopen the document (after saving and closing), the changes are no longer there. Any suggestions? I had this problem years ago. I had to save the document for each change I made. For instance, if I changed the wording in a sentence from "This is it" to "That is it," I would hit the Save button, close the document, then reopen it. |

Can anyone help me with a similar problem? In Word 2010, I have columns, and everytime I close the file and re-open, my columns have shifted. I correct them, save, and close the file. When I reopen the file, it didn't save. I checked for the "Automated Updates" box and that is not checked. I don't see "No styles", but I did see clear styles and set it to that but still the same thing. I have been dealing with this nightmare for years on my business brochures. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Or even suggest another program I could use for future.
