WD2000: Bullets and Numbering Lose Formatting with Track Changes

ID: Q211579

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you delete or change a numbered or bulleted list when the Track Changes feature is on, you may receive unexpected results. (To turn on Track Changes, on the Tools menu, click Track Changes and then click Highlight Changes. Select the Track changes while editing check box.)

Case 1

If you delete a numbered list item with Track Changes on, the revised text is struck through and appears with the number followed immediately by the text without any indentation.

Case 2

If you delete a bulleted list item with Track Changes on, the revised text is struck through and appears with a square (instead of the bullet) followed immediately by the text without the indentation.

Case 3

If you change a number or bullet format to a Wingding bullet format with Track Changes on, the revised text is struck through and appears with one or two random struck-through Wingding characters preceding your actual bullet.

CAUSE

This behavior is based on a design decision that is intended to enhance the performance of Word.

WORKAROUND

If you undo the change or if you accept or reject the change, Word corrects the problem and shows the text with the bullet or number properly.
