It probably has to do with language support for some exotic languages ... something about OpenType Layout Tables.

Simple fonts don't have these tables, but the bigger fonts that contain Hebrew,...

Not sure about best practices, but this should work:<pre>myRange.MoveStartUntil CSet:=Chr(19), Count:=wdBackward
myRange.MoveStart Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1

Relevant is the outline level (Format > Paragraph).
If she assigns an outline level other than "Body text", the style(s) should appear in the Document Map.

Without testing, I think you need
strSelection = CommandBars.ActionControl.Text

I guess the default "FileSave" and "FileClose" buttons in the template have been deleted, and replaced with custom macro buttons.

A better way (that would have retained the "Shift+File menu"...

And if you start Word in safe mode (hold the Ctrl key while starting Word), does it work then?
(You'll have to re-check Tools > Options > General > Confirm conversion on open)

> I'm assuming that it works precisely because the settings are (still) NOT sticky and it's toggling it on?

Yes, something like that. Word seems to be confused about what's hidden and what's not...

It's a bug that was discussed somewhere on the Lounge before, I think.

IIRC, it depends on whether the first character in the document is hidden or not?

One work-around was to use .Font.Hidden...

I have seen that when the dialog was opened by a macro.
And whether it behaves in that way depends on how you write the macro ... Dialogs().Show versus CommandBars.FindControl().Execute, so it can...

Very possible, as I didn't use it. Sorry for the red heering then!

You could look if you find something in "All Programs > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Tools > Microsoft Office Language Settings".
I haven't used Word97, but if the customization was done by a...

The new linked styles (= styles that are both "Paragraph and Character" styles at the same time) are a giant nuisance.

They are created automatically when you apply any paragraph style while you...

The font is probably "Times New Roman"? I've never found out what these "private use" characters are for, either.
The combining diacritics don't work too well in most TrueType fonts... Maybe they...

> If I use Select All ^A, followed by Reset Paragraph, will this fix all the outline levels without affecting any character formatting?

Yes, if you don't mind to remove manual paragraph...

I also sometimes use a hidden paragraph mark (Format > Font > Hidden) after the table (say, also to "merge" two tables visually).
Some people don't like this solution however -- some because they...

Strange, your macro works well on your sample doc for me (Word 2003). There is an empty bookmark "QuickMark" between the space and the paragraph mark... Perhaps that messes things up in your version....

... which is very difficult in practice, though, because the options are different in each version, and there is no easy way (as far as I know) to back them all up.

The "Symbol" font used both on the Mac and on Windows is from Adobe, and there shouldn't be any compatibility problem using it on both platforms (though theory is one thing, and practice might be...

Hard to tell, maybe you could post a sample doc?
I could imagine it's "Track changes": If that is turned on, the deletion might mot actually happen (Word would just mark the space for deletion...

If you mean gray angled [brackets], those are bookmarks.
Word needs to put them around headings when you create a TOC, and cross references.

Word2003 does not show bookmarks whose name starts...

You can find them with their code, which you can get from the Insert > Symbol dialog, Shortcut key... > Description.

The argument I heard was that those settings make your typical Office documents look nicer, and text with more line spacing is supposed to be easier to read.
Office users that never customize...

You get those settings for any new doc you create? Maybe you can copy the "Normal" paragraph style from some clean document to your Normal.dot (using Tools > Template and Add-Ins > Organizer...)....
