Re: Anyone else ever notice this Word feature?

Yes, Dick, that is part of Word's rather flaky style setup.

"normal.dot" causes endless problems, as does the ease with which
styles seem to multiply--much like rabbits on fertility drugs, in my
experience.

When documents change hands frequently, I have found it often to be
simpler to take them to text and reimport into a clean document
instance with only the styles I want to see in the final document.

Has anyone found a method of searching by character or paragraph style
in Word? That would be a definite time saver in this situation.
