Style not saving

[Martin]

Word 2000

I have a table where every even numbered row has two cells, and every
odd numbered row has the cells merged into one and contains a heading:

Heading
Text | Text
Heading
Text | Text

etc.

The heading text is defined as style Heading 1. I now want each
Heading row to start a new page. I can do this by ticking Heading 1
style / Format / Paragraph / Line and Page Breaks / Page break before.
This works fine except that when I save and reopen the document this
setting has been removed from the style.

Does anyone know why Word is not saving this setting and how I can get
around this please? (hopefully, the answer will not be to split my
table into several smaller ones, as I want to be able to change the
width of the two columns in the whole table in one go!)

Check to see if "Automatically update document styles" is turned on (Tools |
Templates and Add-ins menu). If so, turn it off to see if this is what is
causing the behavior.

Thanks, Rick, that was indeed the issue. Another of Word's many
settings for me to learn about!
