Margaret, Suzanne, Bruce,
Thanks for the time invested in this thread. It is not unexpected that
quite a bit more effort will be required to get this whole thing to
work. I will try out the suggestions that I can perform online, the
rest I will defer to next week sometime.

news groups. I will remove the two noted from future posts.
My modus operandi has always been to search previous posts for
something that looks like it is on my topic, I choose the five most
likely and quite happily start the thread in all five. It generally
gets results, and only occasionally do people note that the thread is
off-topic (I sometimes point out the similar thread which triggered
use of the group in question).
When I read the responses I always locate these by searching on my
subject line, I rarely go direct to any newsgroup these days, all
navigation is through the advanced search page (hence other posts of
mine asking about quirks of google advanced search).
Also I never reply in indented fashion to a particular post, but
always post at root level by simply posting a ‘new’
message to the previous subject line. Reason for this is that I use
Opera to search and read posts, however it cannot access the
google.posting site correctly, so I have to use IE4 from there. Gee,
I operate so many shadow systems, it seems there are no standard
procedures in my life anymore.

<< A.1 DUMMY SECTION
<< This section level is not actually needed, however I have
introduced it to show << that there is an MS-Word bug, see Sec. A.1.1
and its sub-sections, below.
I know that ‘section’ has a special meaning in MS-Word,
but I used it in the sense of a section being a heading and the
text+headings that occur below it. Is there another term for this?
formatting from this, I found that all of my setting for headings 6-9
were intact and correct. Heading 1 was A and not 1, and headings 2-5
were A.1 &c. that I fixed, but still all the old mistakes remained.

Great confusion when changes you made one day were unavailable the
next when the last person to close word dictated what everyone got the
next day. Same problem with custom.dic I seem to remember.
xcopy from a login script may not work, I am not sure if the network
drives are attached that early in the windows startup. Of course one
could put a delay in the login script (well I have a 'special' that
does this, is there a standard technique?)
So, no progress on the core problem - I will do it all again in a
fresh doc next week and report back then.
Rgds,
Paul.

I hadn't then, but having done so now, the errant A.1.1 below A.2
remains.
What I had tried was ^A F9 (Select all , update).
Aah, but that would mean sysadmin would have to do this - hence it
won't happen.
This is a true and accurate description of exactly what happens. Still
an imperfect doc on time is better than any form of late doc.
You know, I don't actually know who is reading and replying from which
news groups. I will remove the two noted from future posts.

Well you can't hurt a dead horse anymore can you? Contrary to common
wisdom, you can flog one though.
Sort of OK, let's compromise on
microsoft.public.word.general, microsoft.public.word.numbering
I don't know, the first time I ever used T³, Latex and Exp I needed a
numbered appendix in the first doc.
Well the dummy sections were there, for example, to get an A.2 heading
to show that A.2.1 is actually numbered A.1.1 &c.
I had this text
<< A.1 DUMMY SECTION
<< This section level is not actually needed, however I have
introduced it to show << that there is an MS-Word bug, see Sec. A.1.1
and its sub-sections, below.

but I used it in the sense of a section being a heading and the

You know, when I created a dummy Heading 1 and entered style
formatting from this, I found that all of my setting for headings 6-9
were intact and correct. Heading 1 was A and not 1, and headings 2-5
were A.1 &c. that I fixed, but still all the old mistakes remained.

Grabbed this, some thoughts come to mind :
At a previous Co. I believe we all pointed to the network normal.dot.
