Problem with heading levels in localized version of Office 2002

[Vedranko_Croatia]

Captions and equations are always linked to predefined heading levels (styles
Heading 1, 2 etc.).

For example, when using a form "Fig. 1-1", field codes have a form similar to:
Fig. { STYLEREF 1 /s }-{ SEQ Figure \* Arabic 1 }

In the example above, STYLEREF references heading level 1, meaning that the
numbering will be linked to a predefined heading level, without the
possibility of using a user style as a reference.

PROBLEM: Croatian, localized version of Office uses styles "Naslov 1, 2..."
instead of English "Heading 1, 2...". When the file is opened in a different
localized version of Office, localized heading styles are changed, and
STYLEREF doesn't find any headings in text, resulting in error messages like
"Error! Style is not defined". Predefined heading levels should be recognized
internally regardless of their localised style names.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?VmVkcmFua29fQ3JvYXRpYQ==?=,

In the stated case StyleRef should be picking up Naslov 1 (or Überschrift 1 in
German, the test I just made). The "1" - without a style name - is language
independent. I just tested this, creating a document in Word 2003, English
version and opening it on a different machine with the German version of Word
2000 installed. No problems.

An alternative would be to create the basic caption as an AutoText entry, using
a StyleRef field to a user-defined style name. Insert the AutoText entry instead
of going over Insert/References/Caption.
