Subject:RE: Word question: Heading numbering not following From:"Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Thu, 18 Aug 2005 13:55:10 -0400
The built-in heading styles are unnumbered by default. Problems arise
when multiple users with different styles and templates work on a
document with standard style names, like Heading 1.
Many users redefine Heading 1 to be numbered. Thanks to Word's quirks,
they may not even be aware that they're doing so! Then the user opens
your doc, your Heading 1 automatically updates to the user's version,
boom -- there's your problem.
Safer to have your own styles and templates...
