Another Word question

[Edwin Skau]

Hi Zen,

Joel and Fred are right about the blank style tag.

Here's another way to fix that:
1. Place your cursor on text that you know has a H1 tag and right-click.
2. From the context menu, select "Select text with Similar Formatting". This
will highlight all text marked with a H1 tag.
3. From your Style list, select No Formatting. This removes all formatting
from your selected text.
4. Now go back and mark your headings with a H1.

You should see these headings appear in the header.

Another thing I noticed  in your mail, is that in your attempt to  repeat
the style ref on each page, you seem to have inserted multiple style ref
fields in the header.

Hope this helps.

Edwin
