Petra,
Thanks a lot. I have sent your suggestion to my boss (as I don't have
one of those broken documents - I only use Word when absolutely
necessary - I prefer web documents) and will let her test whether this
fixes her problem and whether there are side effects. I am working at a
university where we have 3 campuses, each functioning on their own in
certain aspects, but still share a lot of documents and several
templates.
Thanks for your answer! I will also take note of Shauna Kelly's site,
and slap my boss with all the facts I can get!
Regards,
Kobus

Hi Kobus,
I had the same problem that was driving me crazy - I posted to the
microsoft.public.word.numbering newsgroup and a woman who has her own
website, Shauna Kelly, at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word (she has a
page on
numbering) suggested I go to Tools/Templates and Add-ins, and uncheck
the
Automatically Update Document Styles box. My numbering was part of an
Outline Numbering system using styles so I don't know if this will work
for
you but you can always try it. Obviously, if the box is already
unchecked
then styles automatically updating is not the source of your problem.
Regards,
Petra
