MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / April 2006ms word is generating strange 'char' styles
Dear computer masters, I am at sea. My 2002 Office Word for PC is generating strange styles, which I think is causing Word to freeze. The only styles I created and use are 8 heading styles, a normal text, a quote text and a quote within quote text. (I like to keep things simple.) I know that when one adds a bold or italics or underline to any of these styles, or a new text size or font, Word generates a new style. But this is something completely different. I don't know how to make these strange styles go away. And I don't know why Word is generating them. I went to Google and several Word/Office tech sites and asked my question, but found no matches. Am I uniquely cursed? Does anyone out there understand this? Because I certainly don't and don't know what to do. Sincerely perplexed, Troy PS. I tried to attach a screen shot. But I guess Google doesn't allow it. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902064 -- Enjoy, Tony > Dear computer masters, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > PS. I tried to attach a screen shot.

But it's great to know what the problem was (is). I've installed the free Open Office. It's good, but it needs to create an 'Outline View' (whicn it calls 'Navigation') as good as Word's. Once again, Tony, thank you very much. It's good to know there's people out there like you who understand these machines/programs and are willing to help those who don't.
