Re: Word changed Num. List from No Style to based on Normal

Which style are you talking about?

I suspect it was a finger-slip on your part. Generally when you set a style
"based on" No Style, it stays set.

But there are other things that can muck it up. You're not using List
Styles, are you? You didn't copy text from a different document did you?
You have not set "Automatically update styles on open" in your
Tools>Templates and Add-ins>Attach, have you?

Cheers

I carefully set up my bullets and numbering following Shauna Kelly's
instructions in

http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html.

At the top level of each, I set "Style based on" to "No style." Now
when I go back to look at the style, I see where "Style based on" is
set to Normal.

Why did this happen, and is it a problem? I know I carefully went
through her instructions and set the top level to No Style and based
each subsequent level on the prior level.

I appreciate any clarification.
