style sheets

[Tigah]

I have been using Word for ever, and style sheets likewise, and as fa
as I can tell, there is a problem with the style sheets that rolls ove
from one version of Word to another and has never been fixed - or mayb
there is a way to fix it and I simply don't know

Here's the problem: for reasons that I cannot fathom out, nor do I kno
what triggers it, style sheets lose a portion of the instructions. I
always affects exactly two things

1. indentation size. Both the 'before text' tab and the 'special tab'
The latter always reverts to 0.25. The former, typically to 0.55, bu
sometimes to other things
2. numbering. If you have a style sheet that specifies numbering, i
will simply be lost - it will revert to no numbering

other things, including alignment, spacing, line spacing, tabs etc. ar
stable

Thoughts, anybody???

also, is there a possibility of getting a new group specifically fo
style sheets

Are you copying styles between files in Word? Note that you may have to copy
*numbered* styles repeatedly (up to three times) for numbering to be
correct. Actually, instead of bringing numbered styles A and B from document
X to document Y, you may find it easier to bring text into (a copy of)
document X.
