Word 2003 changes formattings of para styles in table

I'm confident that the first times I encountered this, the only things I had done were as follow. 1. saved the file (Alt+F+A) 2. closed the file (Alt+F+C) 3. exited Word (Alt+F+X) 4. used Windows Explorer to reopen the file (double-click) ===== 1. Windows® XP Professional operating system 2. Word 2003 (11.6359.6360) SP1 (The following are in no particular order) a. file originally based on \Normal.dot (in Word, chose File | New) b. "orphaned" paragraph style "Normal" 1) styles based on "(no style)" 2) styles followed by themselves or others but _not_ "Normal" 3. saved the file variously as .doc and .dot (File | Save As...) 4. closed file 5. exited Word 6. sometimes, restarted workstation 7. opened file (usually, in Windows Explorer, doubled-clicked the file) 8. file is ~ 85 pp and 0.788 MB (had been as large as 1.167 MB) 9. set "Default paragraph style:" to "bodl_body_left" ((Tools | Options Enable click and type chose "bodl_body_left" disabled "Enable click and type" 10. paragraph style "bodl_body_left" is based on "(no style)", Times New Roman, 12 pt, regular See attachment \1TablesBefore.pdf. 1. titles of tables outside table (not a header row in the table) 2. titles of tables, including numbering: Arial, 11 pt, bold 3. titles of columns: Arial, 11 pt, bold 4. table cells: Times New Roman, 10 pt, regular 5. figure cutline row: Arial, 10 pt, regular, italic See attachment \2TablesAfter.pdf. I describe the worst corruption as follows. 1. titles of tables changed from bold to regular, but 2. numbering of titles of tables OK 3. table cells changed from regular, left alignment to bold, centered 4.

Open the file, and choose Tools - Templates and Add-ins, and see if
"Automatically update document styles" is enabled. If so, then that's the problem. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "DaveAS" wrote in message ... 2005-09-15-04T15:40Z I'm confident that the first times I encountered this, the only things I had done were as follow. 1. saved the file (Alt+F+A) 2. closed the file (Alt+F+C) 3. exited Word (Alt+F+X) 4. used Windows Explorer to reopen the file (double-click) ===== 1.

Word 2003 changes formattings of para styles in table

Herb - Thanks for your reply. I had very early in the process ensured that "Automatically update document styles" was _dis_abled. I also ensured that automatic updating is disabled in paragraph styles. After my posting, I nosed around a bit more in Word 2003 and learned some more about tables and table styles. I hope what I did made the file more stable. Dave "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: Open the file, and choose Tools - Templates and Add-ins, and see if "Automatically update document styles" is enabled.
