WD2000: Outline Numbering Is Not Reapplied

• Microsoft Word 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you apply outline numbering to a document, remove the numbering format from all the paragraphs, and then reapply the format, Word may reapply outline numbering only to the paragraph that contains the insertion point.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when you customize the outline numbering format to link to specific styles in the document. When you do this, outline numbering, a document-specific attribute, is set only once in the document. (The attribute is not cleared when you reset the outline numbering to None.)

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, reset the paragraph formatting of the paragraphs that should be outline numbered. To do this, select the paragraphs from which you removed the outline numbering format, and then press CTRL+Q.

STATUS

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

MORE INFORMATION
