Bullets and Styles (Word 2003)

[Joe McGuire]

How can I unlink or change the style(s) associated with bullets? When I
click on Bullets in the toolbar I get a bullet alright. But Word applies
Heading 3 to the durned thing--and then turns all other instances of Heading
3--actual headings--into bullets. I have no idea how this started
happening. Maybe I did something a while ago without realizing the impact.
If it is a default setting, let's just say it is very inappropriate, at
least for me. Any help would be appreciated!

Try clicking Reset on the button style that is currently selected. That is,
open Format | Bullets and Numbering while the insertion point is in one of
these bulleted paragraphs. The selected pane should be the one that's
currently in use. Click the Reset button, then remove and reapply the
bullets.

Thanks! That did it! (And I restored my Heading 3 to what it should have
been--it got modified!)

Ouch! That suggests that Heading 3 may have "Update automatically" enabled,
so you may need to check on that.
