Default Lost Paragraph numbering in Word Documents after upgrade to 2003

I upgraded to Office 2003 (SP3) yesterday from Office 2002, and now in all of
my old 2002 documents that had paragraph numbering, I've lost the
sub-paragraph numbers. I still can see the highest level (1.0), but anything
below that is just not visible (i.e. 1.2 or 1.2.2).

Has anyone else seen this before?
Thanks in advance.
Ross

Default Lost Paragraph numbering in Word Documents after upgrade to 2003

Was numbering set up with styles (as explained at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...mbering.html)? If so, you
could try selecting the problem paragraphs and pressing Ctrl+Q (which resets
paragraph formatting).

Default Lost Paragraph numbering in Word Documents after upgrade to 20

I appreciate the advice, but this didn't help. I'm not sure if this will help
point anything out, but I open the same docuements on my laptop which still
is at 2002, and the paragraph numbers are visible. It's almost like Word 2003
is only showing the top level paragraph numbers but the detail is really
still in the docs.

I've tried everything I can think of.

Thanks
Ross

I'm afraid I'm running out of ideas. :-(

Just to be clear, though: Was numbering set up with styles or not?

Also, you may want to check if you can reproduce the issue. What happens if
you create a *new* document in Word 2002, add numbering, and then open it
with Word 2003?

Default Lost Paragraph numbering in Word Documents after upgrade to 20

I honestly don't know. I inherited the document from someone else. Is there
any way for me to tell if Styles were used? I still have 2002 on my laptop
and when I open the file on it, the numbering is still visible.

The problem is that I have 20-30 of these documents which are Support
Contracts, and as you'd expect, all of them are exhibiting the same problem.
It really is a mystery to me, and I'd HATE to have to go back into all those
documents and add numbering again just because I did this upgrade...

Thanks in advance.
Ross

Place the insertion point in an outline-numbered list, and then click Format
| Bullets and Numbering (not recommended for creating and/or editing existing
outline lists, though; see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...umbering.html). In the
Customize Outline Numbered List dialog box, click the More button to display
the whole dialog box. For each level, see which style (if any) is applied.
