If you deliberately, or more likely, inadvertently grab a paragraph list
number and drag it, you'll notice that Word highlights all the numbers at
that list level and displays a vertical line that slides across the page. The
numbers may move with the line, may move sometime later, or may not move at
all--according to conditions and rules that I haven't come across as yet.
If those numbers are in a named list style, however, that particular action
always changes the list style.
It's this last action that is particularly troubling. I didn't go to all the
trouble of defining a multilevel list style for the users at my company only
to have it undone with a flick of the wrist.
Turn off all the autoformatting you want, it still changes the style. Select
"Preserve styles," no matter what, the change stays.
Does anyone have a way of preventing changes to named list styles by this
wonderful feature? By the way, we're are still in the Word 2003 world.
