I meat same problem during working on 100 pages documents. It leads me to believe there is a defect in the way MS Word is displaying the numbering and bullets On the other hand, if I do not fix any of the headings, and instead save, close and reopen the document, the headings and bullets all magically return in their correct format. If I use format painter on any one heading to correct the problem, it corrects all headings and bullet point lists in the document instantly.
In other words, the level 2 headings either lose their numbering or the number changes to a bullet, and the bullet point lists lose their bullets. every single time I open the document and scroll up and down in it, at least 1 section ends up looking like this): For example, theĪbove document example ends up looking like this regularly (i.e. Sometimes a level 2 heading will suddenly get a bullet point, rather than a chapter number. When I scroll through the document, for some reason many of the headings keep losing their numbering, and many of the bullet points disappear. The purpose of this document is to demonstrate the error in MS Word. For example, various sections of the document look like this: I also have dot point bulleted lists in various places. The document has headings, including heading 1 and heading 2, and each has chapter numbering. I'm working on a document in MS Word 2016 Home & Office edition (and it's the latest up to date version).
