Auto Detect Headings Permanently OFF Word iOS
Auto detect headings in my iOS Word document is now permanently grayed out. i says, “auto detect is off because it did not detect any headings“. However, I had created two new headings weeks ago using the same heading style as previously created headings and the new ones were not detected. I think the fix for the bug where auto detect was permanently ON has created this new problem? I would like to be able to have headings auto detected when I use the same style as previously created headings. This is how it always worked before AND I was able to toggle Detect Settings on and off to force heading detection.

Which paragraph styles are you using for your text? Note that the built-in Title style is not recognized as a heading, while Heading 1, Heading 2 etc. are.
