Hi all
Why is that, that Word will always open up your document with the styles in
such a manner that you always have to go back and change them? Why can it
not remember that you made a change to a style and the change was consistent
and that's how you saved it and that's how you expect it to be?
Yeah, I know it constantly refers back to a template--but when you change a
style for a document, why does it so strongly insist on changing it back?
I'm getting sick of having to unbold and hang-indent my Tip/Note Heading
style. Of what possible benefit is it to anyone that Word formatting is so
damn bossy?
Anyone subscribing to the Word users lists/news groups: please post this
for me. I want to bray my dissatisfaction as loud as possible.
