Third level bullet style corrupts other styles
In my MS Word 2003 template, I have created bullets that are to be used in
tables. (The text in my tables is one point smaller than regular body text.) I used Shauna Kellys excellent instructions €˜How to control bullets in Microsoft. I have created three levels of bullets and they look great, but other styles (headers, footers and cover page text) have suddenly become corrupted. The corruption is consistent: The corrupted styles have all been formatted with my third level table bullet style. They use the same bullet and are indented by the same amount as the third level table bullet style. When I remove the third level bullet, the corruption goes away. Any idea on what is causing the problem and how I can fix it? Thanks, Jean |

Have you created the entire list as an outline list? See

Third level bullet style corrupts other styles
I followed the instructions in Step 3 of 'How to control bullets in Microsoft
Word' in http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/bull...olbullets.html It says to select the Outline Numbered tab, which I did. I could have made a mistake somewhere during the set up, although I did try to be careful and follow Shauna's instructions. Thanks, Jean "Suzanne S.

Third level bullet style corrupts other styles
Actually, I did two things differently:
[] On the Outline Numbered tab, I chose the second pane from the right in the bottom row. But I never deviated from it when editing the style. [] I only did three levels of bullets, not five. Has this poisoned my bullet styles?

Third level bullet style corrupts other styles
If you need only three levels of bullets, it shouldn't matter that you've
customized/linked only three levels. How are you applying the bullets? Are you applying the styles and/or using Promote/Demote? -- Suzanne S.

Third level bullet style corrupts other styles
I only ever apply bullet styles to text.
I think the answer is to delete the styles and start over. It's probably the safest thing to do when bullets or numbered steps become corrupted. Just as long as Word is not balking at having bullets in tables, which, judging from the responses to my post, it does not. Thanks very much for your help. Jean "Suzanne S.
