Hi Neil, Linda, and Paula, actually Neil's suggestion was unchecking "automatically update", and that's what he did and solved the problem. Thanks again! Wilson --- previous message ----- Hi Neil, Linda, and Paula, Neil's suggestion of unchecking "style based on" solved the problem. I have forwarded Paula's recommendation (to make the change in normal.dot also) to my colleague. Thank you all very much!
