Am I going mad? - More tales of bizarre numbering in Word 03
Hi Paul,
I've seen paragraph styles get linked to some random character style for no apparent reason at all, so I'd check for that possibility. In the VBA editor (Alt+F11), immediate window (Ctrl+G), type ? ActiveDocument.Styles("Directors Name Char").LinkStyle You might check the same for the numbered style. Both should return "Normal". If each returns the name of the other, they are linked. If the styles are linked, the problem should go away after you unlink them: ActiveDocument.Styles("Directors Name Char").LinkStyle=ActiveDocument.Styles(wdStyleNorm al) (It should be enough to do that for the character style) I have never discovered reproducible steps for this bug, but I've seen it happen in many, many documents. It seems Microsoft wants to blur the distinction between paragraph styles and character styles on purpose, so linked styles seem to be with us for good... or for worse. :-( Klaus |
