Has anyone experienced quirky behavior with Word 97 numbered lists? I am
using RoboHELP 7 to compile Win95 help. Every time I open the DOC, the
numbered/bulleted lists take on a mind of their own.<snip>
Yes I have it was a nightmare. Ended up stripping off the autonumbering
and doing it manually. Not the most elegant of solutions, but it works.
If you don't get a better solution, and have only a few screens and
little time to spare, 'go manual'. I'm sure somebody will give you the
correct technical workaround shortly.
The car's wheel? how about the front (right) wheel, the rear wheel, the
spare wheel, the steering wheel.
Which reminds me, the most dangerous part of a car is the nut thats
holding the wheel...(groan)
