Trouble with Styles
I am using word 2007.
I was fairly proficient with Styles until I got 2007. I find 2007 extremely quirky. I am creating a fairly large user guide, so I rely heavily on styles and outlining. A few of my styles which should be body text keep reverting to outline level 1 everytime I reopen the file. I've used the Reveal Formatting task pane to see if I can locate the source (sometimes you can get multiple layers of styles which compete for dominance) Everything seems normal except there seems to be a direct level formatting that keeps appearing and changing certain styles back to level 1. |

that keeps appearing and changing certain styles back to level 1. You probably use Document Map? If that's shown, Word does some automatic formatting, and applies outline evels to paragraphs that look like headings. When you use heading styles with outline levels, that doesn't happen as much as when you use no heading styles... but it might still happen. http://word.mvps.org/mac/DocMapMac.html I don't think this behaviour can be changed, but you can repair the damage with a macro: Dim myPara As Paragraph For Each myPara In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs myPara.OutlineLevel = _ myPara.Style.ParagraphFormat.OutlineLevel Next myPara Regards, Klaus |

Who would have thought my trusty Document Map would be the source of my pain.
