Clicking the Numbering button always applies the latest numbering style
used. Instead, define a numbered style and apply that style. For some tips,

Hi

This isn't normal behaviour. To solve the problem, you'll need to do
some
detective work to identify the point at which things are going awry.

First, make sure that none of these documents has "Update styles from
template" ticked. For more information, see
What happens when I send my document to someone else? WillWordmess up my

formatting?http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/shar...matChange.html

If that doesn't solve the problem, you'll need to investigate whether
any
unruly add-in is causing these problems. To identify add-ins on your
machine,

Hope this helps.

Hi all..
A problem that's been frustrating us for months...
We are editingworddocuments in a team (each member updating a
document and then mailing it in email to the others)
Whenever they they send me the document, it is wholly stripped of many
formatting elements (bulletsdisappear through the entire document,
paragraph formatting changes) even though they only edited its text in
a few places..! We useWord2000 (and so do they) but also tried
2003. This happens every time they change anything and send it to me.
I tried to copy the entire text of the document to notepad, paste it
in a newworddocument of a different template without any formatting,
re-applied all formatting manually, and then sent it to them for
editing. Came back stripped as usual.

Can the transfer between 2000 and2003lead to such chaos?

thanks for any advice!- Hide quoted text -

Hi... thanks for your thorough responses,
I looked in your site,
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/shar...matChange.html
and it recommeds to 'Use styles for all numbering' what does that
mean?
Isn't it so that when I click the 'numbering' icon in word on each
topic, that automatically applies a numbering style? is there anything
extra to do?
I did not number the document manually.

Thanks
