Where, oh! where is the default setting which, if set (or is it unset?),
means I can confirm a style change and click the style box and a dialog box
comes up asking if I want to keep changes or revert back?

I set it ages ago and cannot find where so I can tell a friend.

I am using 2002 but is it the same for all?

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Edit tab. Make sure to
select the "Prompt to update style" option (and to clear the "Keep track of
formatting" option). Click OK.

Many thanks Stefan - I just did not take in what that meant in my usual
hurry - I am most grateful.

Hi Francis,

in case you don't follow the other thread on
inlineshapes and shapes anymore,
here is some more stuff to play with:

Sub Test006x7()
Dim oInl As InlineShape
Dim oShp As Shape
For Each oInl In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
oInl.ConvertToShape
Next
For Each oShp In ActiveDocument.Shapes
' oshp.Top =
' oshp.left =
' oshp.Height =
oShp.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapTight ' etc...
' explore the shape object
Next
End Sub

But this would place all shapes in the same position.
If there is more than one shape on a page,
you might have to select the page
and process the selection's shaperange,
which rises the question, how to loop
through all shapes on a page,
or better said, through all items in a shaperange.

A question, I can't answer here and now.
And I don't like to offer a workaround,
as long as I got a feeling, there must be a straightforward way.

Forgive me Helmut - I did not thank you. I have it sorted out as far as my
present needs are concerned so I wont delve further until/if it becomes
necessary
