Styles for Heading 1, 2, etc.
I'm now using Word 2003 for writing user manuals. (I have updated Word 2003
with the latest SP.) I made a template several manuals ago that uses the cascading styles for heading 1, 2, etc. based on Shauna Kelly's article. Everything has worked well until now. The headings styles keep losing their indent settings (Number and Text position,), which are replaced by bizarre ones in the Paragraph formatting, such as hanging indents. (I never use them.) The headings are now all over the row. I've tried redoing all the headings from scratch, including resetting all the Outline Numbered choices to the default settings. After modifying each heading, I check Add to Template in the Modify Style box, and also say Yes when I save the doc to save changes to template. When I close Word and open it again and go to my doc, the headings have changed back to the bizarre settings. How can I clear the headings in this template, and re-do the settings, if that's what I need to do? Any other suggestions? Thank you very much. -- Kathryn M |

Indents in numbered headings must be set through the Numbering dialog, which
will override settings in the Paragraph dialog. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, Suzanne, but I did edit the heading styles in the Numbering dialog,
and they looked fine, but when I save the doc and exit, and then open it, the heading styles revert to the bizarre heading styles. Do you know how I can start over with new heading styles?

Make sure that "Automatically update document styles" is not checked in the
Tools | Templates and Add-ins dialog. And of course make sure that you are editing the styles by going into Format | Style | Modify through Heading 1 and editing all the other levels in the same dialog. -- Suzanne S.
