WD2000: Heading Numbering Not Preserved in Word 6.0/95 Format

• Microsoft Word 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you save a document in Word 6.0/95 format from Word 2000, numbering or bulleting of heading paragraphs may be lost.

CAUSE

This happens when the numbering or the bullets were applied in one of the following ways:

• By clicking on the Numbering or Bullets button on the Format toolbar.
• By clicking on Bullets and Numbering on the Format menu and then selecting a numbering type on the Numbered tab or a bullet on the Bulleted tab.

RESOLUTION

WORKAROUND

The problem does not occur when heading numbering is applied by clicking on Bullets and Numbering on the Format menu and then selecting a numbering type on the Outline Numbered tab where the individual outline levels are assigned to the Heading styles. This is the preferred method of numbering headings in Microsoft Word 2000.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
