Possible Bug: Table Styles and Document Protection
Hi,
Using Word 2003, I have set up a template that defines some standard styles. Then I have then protected the template so that documents based on it are resticted to certain styles. One of the styles is a table style, which formats the first row of the table in bold. But, when the protection is enabled, the bold effect is missing in documents derived from the template. Does anyone know a solution? John |

Possible Bug: Table Styles and Document Protection
Hi John
I can replicate your problem in Word 2003. I observe that a protected template doesn't seem to apply any of the formatting of a Table style, not just bold in the first row. I'll let Microsoft know. If I hear anything about the issue in the forseeable future, I'll post back here. Shauna Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "John Rusk" wrote in message ...

Possible Bug: Table Styles and Document Protection
Shauna,
Thanks for your reply, and for letting MS know. I can confirm that, on my machine, applying a protected template did apply some formatting. (In particular, it did set the desired shading for the first row of the table.) So there's definitely a bug there, but perhaps its symptoms can vary slightly, since in your test no formatting was applied.
