Hi there,

I use tables to get sentences in a foreign language lined up with their
translation, so that every cell contains one word, with its English
counterpart right under it.

After inserting a document containing such tables as a subdocument in a
master document, and making headings for the titles of chapters and sections,
the tables magically look a lot different: each cell now contains a bullet.
Is there a quick way to remove all these uninvited bullets without removing
one by one?

I tried selecting the table and clicking a different style, but that does
not work. "clear formatting" works, but I would rather not do that.

Thanks,

Janneke

What style is applied to the text in the table cells? Also, see

The style is "bulleted" for most, and "list bullet" for others. One even says
"normal". After checking your link, I think I will stop using the master
document.

Thanks for your response!

Obviously, the "Bulleted" and "List Bullet" paragraphs are going to have
bullets by default. And yes, you're smart to avoid master docs unless you
use them very cautiously.
