Stop automatic style definition
In Word 2002 I can't stop a new style from being
automatically defined. For example, I have a custom style CRM_VarList and if I turn on bolding, as soon as I type a letter it creates the style CRM_VarList + Bold. Under Tools|AutoCorrect options|Autoformat as you type, I have "Define styles based on your formatting" unchecked. Also, in the style pane under CRM_VarList|Modify, "Automatically update" is unchecked. It's also unchecked on the style that CRM_VarList is based on. What to do? Thanks. Greg |

Hi Greg
What you're seeing isn't a style. It's a combination of a style + direct formatting that you've used. See How the Styles and Formatting pane works in Word 2002 and 2003 http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/sfpa...ttingPane.html Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
