I have a normal.dot that contains some stylesheets that let me do automatic
numbering or renumbering of paragraphs. These style sheets worked fne for
about 6 months, then all of a sudden stopped working. If i create a new user
on the same PC, and point word to the same normal.dot containing the
styleshets, they work for a while and then also stop. Anyone got any clues?
