I have a quite normal Word document (I use Word for Mac 2008) with a header
with chapter name, page number, and a horizontal line. Chapter name is a
cross reference. The document itself contains some figures and text of which
I sometimes highlgth a word or sentence with bold or italic font.
When I now want to highlight such a word or sentence (or alternatively
insert bullets or numbering), Word changes the ENTIRE DOCUMENT accordingly.
This drives me crazy enough, but is not the worst.
Simply pressing the 'undo' button makes the entire document normal again and
only the selected word or sentence highlighted (or bulleted).
The worst problem is, that pressing the undo button does not undo the total
messup of my header.
What happens is this: simulatneously with the entire document changing font
format, my odd pages header duplicates (!!!) and my even pages header simply
receives another return.
This cannot be undone by the 'undo' button. I manually have to delete the
duplicate header, for otherwise my header becomes longer after every format
change, leaving ever fewer space for my normal text, which therefore gets
messed up too.
How is this bug (what it is for me) possible?
What can I do to avoid this?
Are there more Word-users with this problem?
Cheers,
