Applying border color to a style...it won't stick. Why?
Word 2007.
I'm trying to modify my Heading 1 style. I'd like to add a border to the bottom of that. I go to: Header 1 (in the ribbon) right click MODIFY I click on FORMAT BORDER I assign a bottom border at 1/2 pt in size. I pick a color. I hit OK and then OK again. Everything changes in my style that I want...including it adding a bottom border...HOWEVER, the border keeps reverting back to black. If I repeat the process above, I see that every time I go back in to modify the border it's reset to 'automatic'. Any idea why? Is this a bug? User error? 'feature'? -Darrel |

I do not know 2007 -- so this may not apply.
But in previous versions -- using the Format - Border option changed the appearance only for that one instance. To change the Style -- you went to Format Style and changed it there -- that way it would apply to all instances of that style in that document. There is a short cut way in the previous versions -- but I don't know if that would work in 2007 either. I guess I'll need to wait and see what the 2007 users share... -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kathryn Groves "darrel" wrote in message ... Word 2007. I'm trying to modify my Heading 1 style.
