atw: Re: Prev. posted cleanup of dreaded char char

Hi All

This is interesting:

<More likely some users have the Track formatting options on and are
spontaneously causing it. Word 2003 is a must have as you can lock down
styles to those from the template!>

I saw a brief reference to locking styles when flicking through a recent
Word manual. What does this new function actually do? Does it also apply to
outline numbered styles? Joy oh joy if it can stop rogue users muddling
numbered paragraph styles.

Unstable because of the char char fix? Not specifically, as part of any
indepth reformat once I have the applied styles right in the target document
I maggie straight away.

I am hoping the automaggie article will pass peer review soon.

Hi All:

Ah, I found the code and Mr Hudson's reworking, which only needs a minor co=
rrection.

A multitude of docs of one specific type here are char-char'd. We only have=
Word 97 here, so I assume someone a few months ago took one of the earlies=
t ones home to work on in a later version of Word, and it has been used as =
a master or template since, spreading its char-charness throughout the worl=
d.

Can anyone tell me if these documents are now unstable? If so I'll email my=
colleagues and suggest they clean up their work with the code. But I don't=
want to spread fear and panic--and look like a knob in the process--if the=
char-char is merely annoying. As usual, most people here have only vaguest=
idea of styles, and have not even noticed the style gremlins.

Garry
