Hi Malatheon

I admit I had to look up what 'lining numbers are'. Never heard of it before, so thank you for bringing this up.

1. You are right, it doesn't work. This seems like something MS forgot about/missed, or "done intentionally". A ticket could be raised for that. Can you do that or do you want me to try?

2. As to the hidden style, no need to go to show all styles, just click on Manage Styles → Recommend and then mark the style 'Show'.

Hi, Lenka_Kerumova,

thanks for looking into it and thanks for pointing me to the Manage styles section. The point that I am trying to make regarding the number 2 is, that even though the style is used and reported as such in the Style inspector, the Style list does not show it despite set to show Styles in the current document (or Styles in use), the style is not listed in both cases (you can see it in the attached picture, sorry about the dark mode).

To the point number one - what is the best way to submit a ticked with MS (in this case)?

Thank you very much,

Milan
