Heading 1 not showing as "in current document", even though it's in use
Hello, I'm having trouble with a heading style that does not show as "in current document" in the style pane.
I made a meeting agenda using built-in styles Heading 1 through 7. My Styles pane is set to show styles "in current document". It shows Heading 2 through 7, but for some reason it doesn't show Heading 1. The heading style is applied to the "1. INTRODUCTION" level text, and I can see it when I switch to show "all styles". Why doesn't it show as "in current document"?
I want to use this as a template to share with other team members for all projects, so I'd like it to be very user-friendly.
Thanks!
Try:
- Changing your styles display order to be Alphabetical Order, it may be dropped below what you are showing or be above it.
- Disabling Linked Styles.
Heading 1 should be showing in the [Quick] Styles Gallery on the Home tab.

Charles_Kenyon - thanks for your reply. Unfortunately no luck yet.
It's not in the Quick Styles drop-down.
I sorted the side panel by alphabet, but that's showing the entire list and still not there. I also tried checking "Disable Linked Styles" after my screenshot and no change.
Stefan_Blom - Thanks for your reply. No, "in use" looks the same as "in current document". I can only see Heading 1 when I select "all styles", but I'm afraid that will be harder for other users to find when they use this document.
Thanks for the follow-up & clarification.
Do you see this in other documents as well? Are you able to reproduce the issue in another document?
- Good news - I copy/pasted the entire document (with formatting) into a new blank document. I reassigned the heading styles and multi-level numbering format, and it's working as expected now. Thanks for the replies!
I'm glad you got it sorted.
Copy & paste into a new doc is one way to fix (minor) document corruption, especially if you omit the final paragraph mark in the source document when copying.
