WD2000: Custom Outline Numbered Preview Changes Location (211416)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 2000
This article was previously published under Q211416

SYMPTOMS

When you open a document that contains a custom outline number scheme on a computer other than the one that you used when you created the document, the outline number scheme may appear in a different preview window on the Outline Numbered tab.

NOTE: To locate the Outline Numbered tab, click Bullets and Numbering on the Format menu.

CAUSE

The custom outline number format is saved as part of the document, but it is not assigned a particular numbering gallery position. Therefore, when you open the document on another computer, the custom outline number scheme is available.

MORE INFORMATION

The Outline Numbered tab contains eight previews. One of the preview windows contains no preview (denoted by the word None). Selecting this preview removes any numbering scheme that is applied to the current selection. The other previews allow you to set different customized numbering schemes.

When your insertion point is in a numbered paragraph and you click the Outline Numbered tab in the Bullets and Numbering dialog box (click Bullets and Numbering on the Format menu), your custom number scheme is selected, but it may not appear in the same preview box as it did on the original computer.

When your insertion point is not in a numbered paragraph and you click the Outline Numbered tab, the selected number scheme appears in the top-left preview box (None), and your customized numbering scheme may not appear in the gallery.

The only settings in the document that are saved from the customized Outline Numbered dialog box are the options that are available when you click Customize on the Outline Numbered dialog box. Any directly applied formatting may be lost or overridden with formats defined in the default List Number styles. This can include customized tab settings that are applied to the original document after the custom Outline Numbered list is applied.
