style issue with Word 2002 SP2

[Stephanie Stowe]

Hi. We recently upgraded Word from 97 to 2002. Phew. About time.

Anyway, there is a behavior that I had grown accustomed to which seems to be
different now. I am a heavy user of styles to format my document logically.
I have a style called "Flow" which is used when I list steps in a flow. It
is a numbered list style. So I have typed the first paragraph in the list. I
apply the Flow style to the paragraph. I hit enter. I want this new
paragraph to also be the Flow style, but it is not. It is normal.

So I go to Format, Styles and Formatting and modify the style. Under "Style
for following paragraph" it says "Flow." IN Word 97 this would have caused
the paragraph I create after a Flow paragraph to also be Flow. But this is
not occuring in my document.

Is this an expected behavior that I am unaware of? Is my Word broken?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

S

I think I have an answer for you. The style FLOW is a user defined style. You can simply create a new style and change the settings to match what properties you desire to Flow and you are back in business. If this is hard to understand, please e-mail me and I will talk you through it
Let me know if this helps
