atw: Re: Char Char Char Problem in Word

It's likely created by the "Keep track of formatting" check box (Tools >
Options >Edit tab). Can you use the Organizer to reapply the correct
styles? (Tools > Templates and Add-ins . Styles tab) and/or the Styles
and Formatting task pane to select all and replace with another? (The
Select All button is only active if you have Keep track of formatting
turned on, so you may needed to turn it on while you do this - then turn
the darned thing off!)
 
Char char char styles were an issue with early versions of Office 2000
(perhaps 2003?) if I remember rightly. Their ad hoc creation was fixed
in later service packs - can you check which Word version and SP your
client is using?

Subject: atw: Char Char Char Problem in Word


Hi all,
 
Problem:  I create a template with various styles, then find that a
style char char char exists and replaces all my defined styles which
means I lose the stylesheet funtionality. Has anyone else had this
problem - it is prolific in the documents produced by this one client
and my 'clean' templates end up infected by this problem.  One can't
work without styles!!!
 
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem would be appreciated.
