Styles and Formatting
Hello All,
I have encountered three perplexing issues while using word to prepare a document and would like some assistance in their resolution. First, in a word document that was the combination of three subdocument, I have encountered inconsistent formatting throughout such as "12 pt, not all caps," or "style, body text + line spacing: single (or double)," or "style, 12 pt not all caps 1," or some other style. (I think this issue pertains to "direct formatting vs. style formating, but not sure) How and when do I harmonize these styles? Second, when I activate a "style" that is recommended by word, particularly "style 1" to some text, it (text) disappears from the page layout view, but is visible in the "show" paragraph mark w/ page layout view. What is happening and how do I resolve this issue? Third, there is text in the "show paragraph mark w/ page layout view" that is UPPER CASE and invisible in the page layout view. However, the same text is lower case and visible in page layout view. Why the difference and how can I rectify this issue? Thank you in advance for any assistance. |

Hi
If you are using Word's Master documents functionality, you need to read this: Why Master Documents corrupt http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...ocsCorrupt.htm and How to recover a Master Document http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...MasterDocs.htm Question 1: What you're seeing is a description of the style and the direct formatting that has been applied to the paragraph. See How the Styles and Formatting pane works in Word 2002 and 2003 http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/sfpa...ttingPane.html Question 2 and Question 3: Can you tell us what you mean by "show paragraph mark w/ page layout view". Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "MoPete99" wrote in message ...

Hi Shauna,
Per your request, the show paragraph mark with page layout view means that I activate the paragraph mark icon. It so happens that the page layout view is the background when viewing paragraph marks and formats in the document. Thanks for your response.

Thanks Suzanne. I finally discerned that via a better understanding of
formatting and styles. Any suggestions for creating a template using word 2003. The information in ......"RecoverMasterDocsContent.htm" doesn't seem to work for word 2003 because I am unable to find the "normal.dot" file using Windows Explorer as recommended. Thanks. "Suzanne S.

RecoverMasterDocsContent.htm has nothing to do with creating a template.
You do not need to find normal.dot to create a template. For information on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations of templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup. Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. "MoPete99" wrote in message ... Thanks Suzanne.
