My document contains a Normal style, with 0.75" left indent and Spacing Before of 6pt.
I've had this document ten years and update monthly or more.
A month ago, these fields have been zeroed upon load. I manually reset them to correct values. I then save, exit, and restart, and they are again zero.
The only template on the Template and Add-Ins is a "Normal", with "automatically update document styles" checked.
The "Global tempates and add-ins" list only shows Normal.dot, UNCHECKED. (I have a second question why this is always unchecked.) The Full path is T:\usr\xxx\Templates\Normal.dot, and indeed that is where I wish to store the template, and is in fact where the template is.
If I check to load this template, it loads with no errors, and I gain a few settings that are in the template. (For instance a zoom-in, zoom-out macro; a custom toolbar for graphics; etc.)
I've tried correcting the indent and spacing both without loading Normal.dot, and doing it before, and doing it after. Further I've tried with and without "Add To Template" on Format-->Styles and Formatting-->Normal dialog.
When I go to Format-->Styles and Formatting-->Normal-->Modify-->Format-->Paragraph, I see Indentation Left 0" and Spacing Before: 0 pt.
Under Tools-->Templates and Add-Ins-->Organizer-->Styles, I see Normal style on both "In MyDoc.doc" and "In Normal.dot". Selecting it in either place shows no Indentation Left or Spacing Before, until I manually reset these to the correct values. Then the same dialog correctly shows the correct values, for both "In MyDoc.doc" and "In Normal.dot".
I know there are a few more steps to take such as trying to make a new doc with this template and seeing if it is correct and if not if I can correct it there, and so on. But as someone whose used styles heavily since Office 95 I'm suspecting this is a bug (or a file corruption, which in short is a bug).
Many thanks if there are any ideas!
