Thanks Stefan - the style report is very useful.

For numbered styles, I used to just specify the indentation as you suggested
however this one was very strange - other things like tab and paragraph
settings also affect the whole thing. I spent the whole day yesterday to fix
on one computer however after I send that to my colleagues it all messed up
again....maybe this one was special...

I think that is always a real pain when making changes on other specified
style and numbering....

2. For numbered styles, specify the indentation via the Customize
Outline Numbered List dialog box; then it should be retained.

1. For a way to delete unused styles, see

Hi all

I work in a legal environment and we always have a lot of problem on
style
and numbering....

In our office we have a full set of numbering style and it is very
easy to
use. However, if we need to send the document to our clients to
edit and
then receive back many times the style got corrupted...

This time I got a real problem that spent me 2 days (but not able to
'FIX'
it yet)....I got a document from our client, which contains more
then 3
companies' style in it already (it had more then 100 styles...). We
are able
to track down what numbering style it is mainly use so we followed
that,
however, the indentation are all wrong every time we fixed that and
save and
re-open!

eg (not exactly but close to this) the correct one:

1 <tab> Country

<indent>1.1 <tab> Area

<indent><indent> (a) <tab> City

result (after save and re-open)

<indent> 1 <tab> Country

<indent><indent><indent>1.1<tab><tab> Area

<indent><indent><indent><indent> (a) <tab><tab> City

Luckily all numbering are correct, only indentations are wrong...

Q1: Is there a method to remove those unused style?

Q2: What is the best approach to fix this problem???

Thanks a lot!
