Because you've done something wrong! What new style, what is it based on, etc.? Some pertinent detail would be a great help in determining the cause of your problem. -- Enjoy, Tony "archana gorade" archana wrote in message ... when i tried to apply the new style with the option of style based on of existing user created style i got a message "This style has a circular Based On list."

I have the same problem when I tried to right click to update a style based
on a selection. I checked the current style properties and it is based on (No style). "Tony Jollans" wrote: Why is it so ? Because you've done something wrong!

Hi,
When numbering is associated with a style, Word sets a pointer in the style definition that links the style with a List Template in the document. The style does not store the numbering List Template; the style merely indicates which List Template to use. This exposes us to the danger of circular references. If, say, your Heading 1 style points to Outline List Template 4, the List Template can point to nine styles, one for each level of the list. In fact, one of the hard and fast rules of defining outline List Templates is that you must never associate the same style with more than one level. Unfortunately, Word does not prevent this. Sometimes in a corrupt document, it happens that Heading 1 points to one List Template, Heading 2 to another, and Heading 3 to yet another. But each of the List Templates have nine levels, so each List Template points back at nine styles (a circular reference). -- Regards, Anup "cordova" wrote: I have the same problem when I tried to right click to update a style based on a selection.
