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...
Yes I also have this issue. I have a macro that updates all of the fields in a document and that makes them all appear again however it's irritating as they appear and disappear at random. I see it mostly with figures and tables, where the caption will just say "Table:" without the number.
AndrewB_33335 For tables, I heard there were a few word updates KB 3213656 and KB 4011039 that caused dissappearing issues and removing them fixed the issues. But if you have a macro, you might add an export at the end to a pdf or doc or rtf format to freeze the content. Word docs can be so painful for these issues.
- That looks to be a separate issue, not caption numbering disappearing. But while we're on tables, I can also mention the way that co-authoring destroys table formatting with misaligned columns etc, particularly when you have merged cells!
