Hiya,

I'm having a problem with a document. Details are ...

1) It has about 500 pages
2) It uses headings etc
3) It has a document map
4) We have versioning (which is just additional copies of the doc with a new
name)
5) Version 10 of the doc is great
6) Version 11 of the doc suddenly changes some of the words that are in
italic and on their own line into a paragraph (whilst still having the
'normal' style applied) and when you right click on the word and select
paragraph, you see it has an outline of level 1 ... which makes it appear in
the document map etc when it isn't correct. The 'normal' style is as it
should be.
7) You can't change the 'style' because it doesn't exist in the style gallery.

Anyone else had this strange behaviour? Even more... anyone know how to fix
it?
Eek!!

:o/
 
Are you unable to set the Outline level back to "Body text" in the
Paragraph dialog box? If it isn't in the style description then it's
likely direct formatting has been applied.

Any paragraph can have an Outline level set, it's the Heading styles
that have the Outline level added to the style description by default.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
