RE: bullets and numbering format is wrong after installing SP3
I got a very similar problem when I open an existing word document after
install SP3. With in that document, some pages show outline numbering correct but some pages did not show bullet numbering. After my investigate, you should try right click on that line with outline number and click menu "Bullets and Numberings" , it will be numbered tab, change to outline numbered tab and choose the style that you want it to be. This one action will correct all the missing bullet number for you. I doubt that the word document was created with some error long time ago but it did not show up when we use Offfice 2000 or Office 2003 SP2.

RE: bullets and numbering format is wrong after installing SP3
I can get the bulllets and numbering dialog box just fine, but the selection
doesn't allow for the sample 2 2.1 2.2 2.2.1 2.2.2 etc. It numbers instead sequentially, e.g. 2.1, 3.1, 4.1 I didn't create this document and I think the creator may have overwritten the original styles. Please assume I am a real novice and try to explain again? Thank you, R. "TG2001" wrote: > I got a very similar problem when I open an existing word document after > install SP3.

Re: bullets and numbering format is wrong after installing SP3
Does this solution solve the issue for all pre-existing documents? I too am
experiencing this issue and have over 100 documents that this issue occurs and over 100 users that are now SP3 "Suzanne S.

Shauna's article explains how to set up outline numbering correctly; when
done right, it should be almost unbreakable. -- Suzanne S.
