Collapsible Header Format
Hey everyone,
This is my first post here because I've encountered a very strange issue that myself and Microsoft support have been unable to figure out.
To make a long story short, I've written a book and I've used Headings with the collapsible arrow on each chapter to make it easy to go through and edit things in order, and all was working fine until a few days ago when for some reason only the page underneath the header collapses, and the rest of the chapter stays visible.
I use Office 2021 Professional Plus and I have tried to reinstall it all but that hasn't fixed the issue. I've also tried to create a new document with the new chapter headings and tried to copy and paste the body of text to each corresponding chapter, but now the body of text then loses all formatting. It removes all of the paragraphs breaks, and margin alignments that have been set on the new document.
I can't figure this issue out, so I'm really really hoping that one of you lovely people can, because my only other option would be to retpye the entire book, and at ~350k words I'd very much like to avoid that.
Thank you!
Ismail
Ismail_A00 Try copying everything in the document EXCEPT for the final paragraph mark (¶) and paste it into a new document and see if that overcomes the issue.
- Unfortunately that didn't work, so what I've ended up doing is I've found an older version of the document that still worked correctly and retyped out everything that was missing. It wasn't too bad, only around 20k words but it's still a very strange problem that I'm hoping I never encounter again.
Thank you for your response though, it really is much appreciated!
