WD97: Style Changes Not Retained with HTML Styles (173377)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q173377 SYMPTOMS
When you create an HTML document in Word, any customizations of HTML styles are not retained when you save, close, and reopen the document, or when you view the document in a Web browser. The text formatted with HTML styles reverts to the default HTML style format.
CAUSE
This behavior is by design. When a document containing text formatted with
any of the HTML styles is saved as HTML, Word only saves the HTML tag of
the style and does not save any attributes of the style.
