problem with heading style
I am running Word 2007 on both of my computers.
On one computer whenever I try to change the style to any of the headings, nothing changes, the style stays the same as normal. On the other hand, the other styles (e.g. title, subtitle, etc.) all work fine. When I look at the details of the style, I see everything there, meaning font differences, etc. On the other computer, the style function works just fine and I can change the normal text to headings. I can see no difference in the way the options are set in the two different machines. Apart from just working on the second computer, is there something I can do to fix the first one? Thanks! |

problem with heading style
What happens if you select the text and press Ctrl+SpaceBar (to clear direct
font formatting) and Ctrl+Q (to clear direct paragraph formatting)? Does that help? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Alisa Coffin" wrote in message ...

problem with heading style
I tried what you suggested, selected the text and pressed Ctrl+SpaceBar and
then Ctrl+Q. Unfortunately this did not solve the problem. Here is a list of what happens when I select the various style options using the Default Style Set. To begin, first I select the text, the Style is Normal. Changes referred to below mean a change from the Normal Style. However, in the hierarchy of styles, once a level is selected and the change is made, for example Emphasis Subtle, there is no change between that and Subtle Emphasis. STYLE EFFECT STYLE WINDOW No Spacing No change New style called No,Spacing appears selected Heading 1 No change New style called Heading,1 appears selected Heading 2 No change New style called Heading,2 appears selected Heading 3 No change New style called Heading,3 appears selected Title CHANGE Title Style is selected Subtitle CHANGE Subtitle Style is selected Emphasis Subtle CHANGE New style called Emphasis, Subtle appears select Subtle Emphasis CHANGE New style called Emphasis, Subtle appears select Emphasis Intense CHANGE New style called Emphasis, Intense appears Intense Emphasis CHANGE New style called Emphasis, Intense appears Strong CHANGE Strong Style is selected Quote CHANGE Quote Style is selected Intense Quote No Change Error message Quote Intense No Change Error message Subtle Reference CHANGE New style called Subtle, Reference appears Intense Reference No Change Error message Book Title CHANGE New style called Title,Book appears Title Book CHANGE New style called Title, Book appears List Paragraph No Change New style called List,Paragraph appears. It doesn't seem to matter which style set I select. The problems are the same. Also, I need to use a set of customized styles for my dissertation formatting and these don't seem to work at all on this computer, while they do work on the second computer I mentioned. I should also mention that I had none of these problems in Word 2003. Thanks for any help you can give. This is truly frustrating.

This is definitely strange. What error message was generated as you reset
some of the styles? Did Ctrl+Q generate the message, or Ctrl+SpaceBar, or both? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Alisa Coffin" wrote in message ...

problem with heading style
Again, the above mentioned error message appears whenever I try to select
either Intense Quote or Quote Intense as a style. Can you tell me how to check the "list separator" in the "regional settings" for Windows? My search of the help files in Windows gets me to the regional settings tool in the control panel, but I don't see a "list separator" option there. Am I missing it? I appreciate any help.

problem with heading style
Thanks for your help.
I uninstalled the Office Suite and reinstalled it with all updates. When I tried it again the same problem occurred. I checked the list separator in the "customize" section of the regional settings and it was set to blank. I changed it to comma. That seems to have solved the problem. Incidentally, I am running the Windows XP Media Center edition (don't know if that has anything to do with it). In any case, when I tried to apply the styles now, they seem to function just fine. I will let you know if I encounter any further problems down the line. Thanks again for your help! Alisa Coffin "Stefan Blom" wrote: "Alisa Coffin" wrote in message ...

So the list separator was the culprit after all. Note that, by default,
systems that has a period for decimal sign has a comma for list separator (and systems that has a comma for decimal sign has a semi-colon for list separator). Anyway, I'm glad you got it sorted, and thank you for the feedback. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Alisa Coffin" wrote in message ... Thanks for your help.
