Hello Norm26,
That is a VERY interesting document. I believe I see the symptom you
are seeing by tracking changes. For example, I see section 6-2, the
second item is labeled 2., but when changes are tracked, appears as a
struck out 3. replaced by 2. You cannot make that go away by "accept
all" or any other accept change command. If this is not the symptom -
let me know.
One of the things I did try - that provided a clue is to hit the
button to add / remove numbering over and over again (formatting
toolbar). After the second or third try, you see the paragraphs
renumbered as letters. I believe that is the clue we need to fix this.
There are at least two ways to fix this.
As a first method, try this:
- turn off change tracking
- for each chapter, select all the lines, then Format -> Bullets and
Numbering. A dialog box shows up, select the numbering tab and the
type of numbering you want in the first level (cap letters). Then OK.
- If it renumbered the sub levels, select those separately, go back
to that numbering tab & choose the type of numbering you want (#. or
lower case letters), then OK.
- that step may screw up the paragraph formatting. If so, fix it
before proceeding (e.g., drag the buttons within the ruler at the top)
- repeat the numbering / indent step on the remaining numbered (or
sub lettered) items throughout the file.
- save the file
- now turn on change tracking
You should see that the symptom has gone away. Do for a single section
to see what I mean. If this is "good enough", let me know so I can
produce a proper answer.
The other way you can fix this is to use "heading levels" and nested
numbering formats. That is basically done by assigning a header level
style (Heading 1, Heading 2, ...) and then using Format -> Style and
then modifying the style to be the way you want it. When you assign a
style to each paragraph, it will automatically format the way you want
it without any extra typing. If you want to pursue this - let me know.
If neither approach seems to fix the problem, please describe the
symptom you see in more detail.
