Is it a holiday everywhere but here? Very little
message traffic today....
The question:
I use a style called Caption, and I needed to modify
it. However, this style does not appear in the list of
styles in the template or the document in which
captions actually exist. I tried every option to Show
Styles in use, available, etc., and no Caption style.
Yet, when I open the published doc, there is the
caption, using the Caption style, and if I click on
the style, then Caption appears in the Styles and
Formatting > Formatting of selected text box.
The only way I found to modify this style was to
publish my doc, find the caption, click on it, then
edit the style. Then, I had to open the organizer and
copy the modified style over top of the existing style
in the template. The style is visible in the template
in the organizer only, not in the list of styles.
Does anyone know why Word does not display certain
styles, even ones that exist in the doc? As mentioned,
I tried all Show: options.
