User Defined Style Problem - Where to post?
I am currently having a problem that involves a user defined style that I
created for a document a few months back. It was a style that I did to create levels of indenture for a document I was doing that I wanted to appear in an outline format. I am now working on another document that I do NOT want to use the same styles. However, every time I select a block of text and click on the "bullets" icon on the Format toolbar, Word changes the style of the selected paragraph to one of the styles I defined way back when. I have tried deleting the style from the document, but it comes back if I try to set the bullets again. The style in question does not appear in my Normal.dot file. Ignoring the "What the $&%?" question for now, how does one make the "bullet" function just add bullet formatting rather than change the paragraph style? Should I cross/re- post this message to another Microsoft group? TIA, Dave. |

More fun -- if I try to clear the bullet using the "bullet" icon on the
format toolbar, it doesn't revert to normal, but I get the old style plus the bullet and indent removed?!?!?! "Dave M" wrote in message ...

Go to Format | Bullets and Numbering, select the pane that is showing your
style, and click Reset. Then select the bullet format you want. It will be the active one for the Bullets button until you select a different one. -- Suzanne S.

And for a long-term solution, rather than using the Bullets button,
you could apply the List Bullet style, and modify it as needed. For more, see http://shaunakelly.com/word/bullets/controlbullets.html. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.
