Afternoon all. Question for you.
Here’s the situation. I have created a customized normal.dot for our Win2K/Word2K users, specifying default styles and etc. I create a new document and apply a List Bullet style. At this point I save the
document. Then I modify the List Bullet style (changing font, bullet style, whatever…it doesn’t matter) and save the document again. Then I close the document. When I reopen the document, it does not reflect the modified styles.
I get the same behaviour regardless of the style I modify (in other words, this isn’t related to the style itself).
My question is…what is going on? We are also running MacroSuite, but I have eliminated that as the cause of the problem; the behaviour is the same without MacroSuite integration. I also removed our firm startup template, and that is related to the problem either. However, if I delete my custom normal.dot, the scenario described above works correctly and the style modifications are saved with the new document.
Any thoughts? At all? Please? This normal.dot is based on the normal.dot we used for our Word 97 clients, and we had no problems with this. I feel like I’m losing my mind. I’m really trying to find out how to programmatically turn that option OFF for ALL documents by default.
Thanks in advance for any assistance…
