Adding "Char" to style name
As I'm working on a document why do some of my style names get changed by
Word to include "Char" in the name? E.g., "Table Text" gets changed to "Table Text Char". The styles this happens with are paragraph styles and remain as such even after the name change. I'd appreciate any info. |

Styles such as Table Text Char are created when you apply a paragraph style
to part of a paragraph (selected text); the paragraph style is applied as a character style, while the underlying paragraph style remains the same. They can be very difficult to eradicate because if you delete the Char style, you also delete the paragraph style, and all paragraphs in that style are reset to Normal. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,
This is something that also drives me C-R-A-Z-Y - especially since I am involved in training new users ... I spend FAR to much time trying to explain it. It gets worse when it mutates into [style name] char, char, char. Is there any way to stop it happening?

I'm not the expert on this (I think Shauna Kelly is). It seems to be reduced
if you turn off "Keep track of formatting," and I believe one of the service packs also helped. Beyond that, you just have to be careful when applying styles. -- Suzanne S.

Adding "Char" to style name
One way to avoid having "Char" added to your style names is to always,
_always_, ALWAYS use Paste Special/Unformatted Text to paste text from one document into another. In our office, we virtually eliminated the appearance of those "Char" styles by using Paste Special/Unformatted for everything, then formatting the inserted text after the paste.

Adding "Char" to style name
...check the "Disable Linked Styles" box in the Styles pane
Does that cause outline styles that are linked to each other NOT to be linked? If so, I wouldn't want to click on that option.

Yes, it does.
Of course, if the option also affected multilevel/outline lists, it would be useless. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
