Dissappearing Bullet Numbers
in [Page Layout]
|
From: Austin on 10 Jul 2008 12:22 OK, I am having a real issue. I am currently writing the standard operating procedures for our lab. To do this I must use a bullet system that is rather complex but Word seems to be understanding it and even auto filling it for me. The problem I have is that after I save the document when I, later, reopen it the bullets have completely dissappeared and the document has reformatted to left hand allignment. When I click on the line that previously was bulleted the bullets tab, in the toolbar, is highlighted as if it is still active. Can anyone explain to me what is going on and how to bring my bullets back?
From: Stefan Blom on 11 Jul 2008 05:04 First of all, see if "Automatically update document styles" is checked in Tools | Templates and Add-Ins. If so, clear the option. Then you may want to set this up as an outline-numbered list of bullets; see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bullets/controlbullets.html (for more on outline numbering in general, see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Austin" <Austin(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E5588BCA-9A4E-4491-BEBB-8C0FDAFFE44A(a)microsoft.com... > OK, I am having a real issue.
