Word 2003. I have a document with many a),b),c) sub-
paragraphs. I format them, save the document, and when I
reopen the document some, not all, of that formatting is
missing, and goes to no letters at all! Also, even if
I "reset" my bullets and numbering to make a,b,c my
default, I often get 1,2,3 arbitrarily. HELP! Thanks.
