Numbering and bullets in Word docs keep disappearing
When working as a team on Word files within SharePoint, I constantly have problems with things like heading numbering disappearing (or changing from numbers to bullets), bullets going missing or bull...
My tip for fixing this to current document:
- Open a new document
- Create the heading levels with numbering styles you want.
- Save the file as "Word macro-enabled template" (*.dotm)
Then:
- Open the file that needs fixing
- Go to "Developer" tab => Choose "Document template"
- On the "Templates" tab, attach the *.dotm that you've just saved.
- Remember to check the "Automatically update document styles"
- Press OK
If you don't see the Developer tab, please go to Word options => "Customize the Ribbon". On the right-hand side box, scroll down and check the box "Developer" => OK
Hope that this helps.
