To Brian McCaffery
Yes I am talking about numbered lists. The Automatically Update button I
don't remember because in earlier versions (prior to xp) I never encountered such a situation, especially not in 97. Now I will definitely uncheck. The keep track option in Tools,Options was new to me, now I will uncheck. After reading the links suggested, I will post back with your name in the subject, so as to be sure of a reply & help. Thanks "Brian" wrote in message ... First, I assume we are talking about numbered lists, not bullets. When you select Modify style, in the first window, is Automatically Update checked? If so, uncheck the box. In Tools\Options\Edit tab, make sure that the option Keep Track of Formatting is also unchecked. Are you using Numbered or Outline Numbered selection in the style settings for numbering? -- Brian McCaffery "Milind" wrote: I sifted thru all the files but could not find the solution for my question. Put simply, it is as this: I have three styles: Bullet1, Bullet2, Bullet3 all based on No Style. The difference is in indents of .25, .5 and .75. The problem is that I don't want continuous numbering. If I apply Bullet1 to some paras, then say 6-7 pages later again I use it, Word continues the numbering. If I right-click and choose Renumbering, it increases the left indent to .21 (which was 0 earlier), the bullet indent of .25 remains as it is. Even the indentation of the earlier usage of Bullet1 changes automatically. I am using the same .dot for all files, I have to literally create hundreds of styles Bully, Bullo, Bullt just for one instance. Why Word insists on continuous numbering is baffling me. Please explain (I don't mind going thru another link or document) |
