Re: Styles in Word 2007

Sorry Herb, I wasn't trying to provide exact repro steps, just enough info
to see if that's what Greg was referring to. Here you go:

- Create a new document
- In Word Options make sure "Prompt to update style is turned on"
- Switch to Print Layout view if necessary
-Type =rand() and press Enter
- Select the first paragraph
- From the Quick Styles gallery apply "No Spacing"
- From the Quick Styles gallery apply "Heading 1"
- Hover over "No Spacing" in the gallery
- Then hover over "Heading 1" in the gallery

You may need to repeat the hovering back and forth a few times before you
encounter the error. Turn off "Prompt to update" and the error no longer
occurs.

Note it can occur with any two styles - I just pick two next to each other
to make the repro steps easy. :-)

I can't seem to reproduce that error. I think I did what was described, but
I get only correct/expected behavior, no error, and no switch to draft.

I thought you did, I could have sworn you were part of the previous
discussion about this...

If you'd like to file a bug on it too, it definitely couldn't hurt. :-)

Hmm, that's a good one. I hadn't seen it before, but I can reproduce
it here. Maybe I should file a report, too?

I'm not Jay, but if you're referring to the oddity of having "Prompt to
Update Style", the message box stating "Word encountered an error", and
then
switching to Draft view, I haven't heard anything but I reported it. :-)

Jay,

Have your heard of any action being taken to resolve the bug where
Word throws and error if you are scanning the QuickStyle pane with
"Live Preview" enabled and mouse over the current applied style?
