WD97: Heading Styles Missing From Style List (167214)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q167214

SYMPTOMS

If you create a Word 97 document that contains the Heading 4 through Heading 9 heading styles and you save the document as HyperText Markup Language (HTML), the Style list on the Formatting toolbar will no longer contain Heading 4 through Heading 9 heading styles.

Note that after you convert a Word 97 document to HTML, the style formatting is converted to HTML code.

CAUSE

When you convert a Word 97 document to HTML format, Word attaches the Html.dot template to the document. The Heading 4 through Heading 9 heading styles are not stored in the Html.dot template so they do not appear in the Style list on the Formatting toolbar.

WORKAROUND

To access all of the styles, use either of the following methods:

  • Press SHIFT and click the Style arrow.

    -or-
  • On the Format menu, click Style. In the List box, click All Styles.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
