Paragraph "Outline Level" is changing to Level 1
I am using Word 2002 with styles. When I right-click and go to Paragraph,
some of the styles under "Outline Level" are changing to Level 1 where it should stay at BodyText. However, when I go to modify the style, the "Outline Level" is properly set to BodyText. I can press Control Q to clear the "Level 1", but when I save the document, it reverts to Level 1 again. This is a real problem because those paragraphs are appearing in my Table of Contents, and also show up on my Document Map. I've replaced my normal.dot think there was corruption, but the same thing happens when opening the document on different computers. I've fought with this for 2 days now. Help me if you can!!

Tools AutoCorrect Options AutoFormat As You Type
Uncheck "Define Styles Based on Your Formatting." I keep everything in the bottom two sections of that dialog unchecked, but those are my preferences. Not sure this will fix your problem but it is my best guess. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
