Someone else is struggling with this, and I got curious.

Is there any way to have a different format for the footnote separator in different sections or on the first page?

I know the draft view...

You want to make a list style, I believe. Use the multilevel list button. Good instructions here:

Do you have the styles pane set to display Styles in Use, or All Styles, or what? The behavior of the pane in Word 2010 is less predictable (the polite way of saying it) than in previous versions. ...

Cool! Rerquires eyeballing by a human, but it does draw attention to the suspect paragraphs one by one. You could probably jigger a replacement for this line:

To update fields in the main body of the text, select it all and press F9. If what you want is in a footer, the easiest way to do it is to select the field and press F9. I have a macro someplace...

This is a very hard problem, mostly because it is difficult to define a mismatch unambiguously. Is a mismatch two right parens without a left paren anywhere in the intervening text? If so, what do...

If I understand what you are doing, you're using a Styleref field to show the chapter number on each footer. You're drawing the chapter number from a Heading style, I'd assume.

I knew it was here somewhere, but searches didn't turn it up and all the links elsewhere are to the old wopr location. Thanks for posting the direct link.

For others following the link, the most...

Here is a reference that shows how to do similar things using formula fields and VBA, with no need for Excel.

It looks to me as though the first instance has a space after GetDimensions and the second doesn't. If I am reading this correctly, that might be the difference.

Also, is there some indexing...

When you set up a multilevel list with the styles linked to heading numbers, you can insert fixed text before the numbers. I do that regularly to have step numbers that start with the word Step.

Remember that for Word, a page is a fleeting and coincidental thing, dependent upon the printer selection and so on. If you look at the Word object model, page has essentially no place in it. PDFs...

As far as I know there is no way to do that. There may be sneaky ways to copy the dictionary files, but as for the others I think you're out of luck.

Thanks, Andrew. I finally fixed it (yesterday) by defining a multilevel list with my paragraph style attached to the first level of the list. There was some strange conflict between the paragraph...

No, I want Step 1 to look like all the others. By "outdented" I mean that the setting for hanging indent seems to disappear so the wrapped line starts at the left margin.

All the other steps...

I am shamelessly piggybacking on this, because I have the same symptom for a single-level numbered list. NOT an outline list. If this is a violation of the rules, oh ListWatchers, let me know and I...

Something is screwy here. I tried your exact code in 2007, with a counter variable being incremented and a msgbox showing the counter replacing Do Something.

It finds the first instance of...

Thanks. that will certainly work.

What I had in mind and have finally found again is the VBA method ConvertNumbersToText. You can use it for a list object, a listformat object, or an entire...

Interesting and useful. But doesn't solve my particular problem which has to do with char styles that show up ONLY in the Search box and are not related to the linked character styles discussed in...

Under Word Options, Display, Printing options make sure that Print drawings created in Word is checked.

Another approach entirely would be to use a SEQ field with live numbering right up until the time you were done with the doc or at least done with putting in new requirements. At that point you...

Thanks. I don't use format-to-style, and I have set the option to display only real styles in the styles pane.

What I am dealing with is char styles embedded in documents that originated in 2003...

Not sure what I am supposed to pass to the first procedure - do I need to add a control or something?

In any case, I copied the code as is, ran it, and no char styles were deleted.

Has anybody...

Hi, Paul. I understand that the macro only creates TmpSty on purpose. However, before I ran this particular test of the macro I had a Body Text style but no Body Text Char style. After I ran the...

Ok, this is getting wierder. I created a new untouched Normal.dotx. It has no char styles in it. I ran your macro, copied and pasted.

It created, and I am NOT making this up, a style called...
