MS Office Forum / Word / Numbering / September 2004Numbering and Styles
I have a template that uses styles with outline numbering. 1 Heading 1 1.1 Heading 2 1.1.1 Heading 3 If someone accidently backspaces and deletes the automatic numbering 1 Heading 1 1.1 Heading 2 Heading 3 and tries to reapply the Heading 3 style the style seems to redefine itself and all the numbering is removed. Is this a bug? Is there a way to lock the style definitions so they can't automatically change? Thanks! If you try to reapply Heading 1, you get a message box asking whether you want to reapply the style or redefine it. Making the wrong choice can be disastrous. A better way to reapply the style is to press Ctrl+Q.  SignatureSuzanne S.

Thanks! Ctrl-Q works. However, I am not asked whether I want to reapply or redefine it. I failed to mention that I am using Word 2002, perhaps that feature is not in this version. >-----Original Message----- >If you try to reapply Heading 1, you get a message box asking whether you [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >. Hi Fran This feature is in Word 2002, but Word only asks if you want to re-apply or re-define the style if (a) you have ticked the box at Tools > Options > Edit > Prompt to Update Style and (b) you re-apply the style either by using the Style box on the menu bar or by using the Styles and Formatting Pane. If you use any of the other method to apply a style (eg a toolbar button or a keyboard shortcut), Word doesn't pop up the "do you want to re-define the style?" box. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
