Working on a instruction manual and I am trying to make
numbered (1.,2.,3., etc.) lists that are followed by
lettered (a., b., c., etc.) lists that are inserted into
regular paragraphs of text. I need to renumber each
section of the instructions BUT Word cannot/will not
renumber or if it does it renumbers ALL of the numbers in
the document. I sometimes can get a correct number
sequence for a section by using CTRL-Z once, often have
to use CTRL-Z several times.
I have searched through Word help. I have removed Word
and reinstalled it. I have downloaded and installed all
available updates and patches through Microsoft (after
the reinstall.) I have looked online for expert advice. I
have tried an engineer's Word 2002 XP on XP and had the
same problem. How can we overcome this glich?
Also how can I stop Word from making every formatting
change I make into a new style. Often I just need to
change one sentence in the whole document and don't need
a new style for just a sentence.
For any Word developers out there. Make a function that
will remove unused styles from the list especially when
importing files from other people or from old files. I
like to have a tight palette of styles and don't want to
manually delete old/bad/out-of-date styles each and every
time. Perhaps a gallery function where you can manage
your styles SEPARATE from any file/doc. That would be a
dream for we who have deadlines.
