Styles - Greyed Out / Can't Select All
Hi,
I have a multitude of styles set-up in my Normal.dot that I often import into other documents. I used to be able to click the down arrow of a style and choose "Select All...". Now, even though the style does exist, this option is greyed out. Further, when selecting what to show (Show, custom) the options under "Show Clear Formatting" are greyed out. These problems are also in the Normal.dot (not just other docs that use it). How do I get these options back? TIA |

TIA To enable those things, you have to go to Tools Options General and check the option for "Keep track of formatting". That may also enable the linked-style "Char Char Char" bug, so I'd advise leaving the option unchecked until you need it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

The setting is actually on the Edit tab of Tools | Options.
