using bullet changes style from Normal to TOC 1
I have absolutely no idea why this is happening. I can be on a line defined
with the Normal style. I turn it into a bulleted line and the style immediately changes to TOC 1. I try to set the style back to Normal, but when I do, the bullet goes away. Now, this has just started happening in my document. I have already written dozens of pages where I didn't have this problem. Why has it come up now? |

No idea about the why (unless your TOC entries are bulleted) but the how
probably involves having failed to disable the "Define styles based on your formatting" option on the AutoFormat As You Type tab of Tools | AutoCorrect Options. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, Suzanne. I wasn't even aware there was an option for that.

On the face of it, it might sound like a good idea, but what it really
amounts to is "Apply styles that Word thinks resemble the formatting you have applied," and it's a huge mess. -- Suzanne S.
