Microsoft Word - MS Word -- Corrupted Heading Numbers

Microsoft Word - MS Word -- Corrupted Heading Numbers

MS Word -- Corrupted Heading Numbers

Posted: 21 Jun 2013 06:04 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I've run into the "corrupted heading numbers" problem again.

 

I was going to tell you the problem, but logging in to my work computer fresh this morning, for some reason the problem went away! (Did the reboot somehow fix it?)

 

Anyway, I will tell the story anyway, and perhaps one (or several) of you can weigh in and provide insight/add'l info.

 

Background:

Word 2007, Windows 7. Large (160-page) file, heading values from 1-4. Many diagrams (Figures and Tables).

 

After a long editing session yesterday (where text and Visio pictures were copied in from outside documents), all of a sudden I noticed that my Heading2 numbering values went from 3.7 to 4.1 (the next value should've been 3.8). I tried toggling it to Heading 1, 3, 4, 5 and back to 2 again, to no avail. I checked the style for Heading2 and unfortunately the box was set to "automatically update", which I know fromn previous dealings w/ the MS Word community is not what you want! So I unchecked it for Heading2, 3, 4, etc. so they were all fixed. This didn't make the problem go away, however. So I saved it to another version and went home, frustrated.

 

I came back in today, brought up the file, and magically the problem went away!  How did it "fix itself"?

 

Thanks!

Can't run 2 different documents in Word 2003 simultaneiously.

Posted: 21 Jun 2013 05:05 AM PDT

I'm pretty sure I used to be able to view different documents with Word 2003 at the same time.  Now I can't.  If I open a second one it opens on top of the first one and I can't view the first one.  I must have changed some setting but I have no idea which.  I looked at Options but didn't see anything relevant.  Running on XP SP3.

Can Word 2010 be retrofitted with Word 2013's collapsible paragraph styles?

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 05:52 AM PDT

Our company is still updating from Word 2007 to Word 2010.  It will be years before we upgrade all 2,000 users to Word 2013.  But we need the expand/collapse paragraph style functionality of Word 2013, NOW, as described here:

 

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/collapse-or-expand-parts-of-a-document-HA102840146.aspx

 

Could it be possible to retrofit Word 2010 with those 2013 styles and get that function to work for Word 2010 users?

Group - Ungroup

I want to prevent unwanted format changes in my tables. I am trying to do this with Developer > Group. Group works so far as I can tell (although some strange things happen) but Ungroup is grayed out. It should be simple to undo something that's so easy to do, but how?
