Hello
I'm running Office 2000 (9.0.8949 SP-3) under XP SP2. I'm having problems
with a particular document. It's mostly bulleted lists, interspersed with
non-list text. Okay. So with other documents, I'm used to adding bullet
points like so: I place the insertion point at the end of a line, hit Enter,
the new line is created below, already bulleted. At that point, I can hit
Tab or click the Increase Indent button and the bullet moves to the right a
little bit like it's supposed to.
In the problematic document, the same step produces different behavior: the
bullet moves over to 6.5 inches and won't move back over to the left where
it belongs. I tried dragging the tab stop, which works until the next time.
I tried deleting the tab stop, then all tab stops, which works until next
time. I have reinstalled Office (or rather, I ran Detect and Repair), no
joy. I ran Excel /o, which I guess resets the Registry keys, no joy. The
problematic document uses normal.dot, so I thought I would delete it, but I
can't find any instance of that file existing on the system (the docs that
behave properly also use normal.dot, so I dont' think that's the problem).
There's probably something very simple I'm overlooking. I'd be very grateful
if someone can tell me what I'm missing.
Thank you!
