I have a problem with my template or styles.
When I close and open my document, changes which I made manually revert to something incorrect. E.g. When I adjust a heading to be BOLD, and then close and open the document again, the next become unbold. When I change page numbers to 'continue numbering from previous section', it reverts to 'start at 0'.
The first step to solving this was to ensure that 'Automatically update document styles' is unchecked under the Templates and Add-ins section. This is NOT checked, and so is not that easy of a fix.
The second step was to check under the 'modify style' section to ensure that 'Automatically update' is unchecked. This is also not checked, and so is still not fixed.
The third step was deleting and recreating Normal.dotm template thinking that maybe something had corrupted with the normal template. Also did not work.
The fourth step was running macros to go through each style and ensure that they are not automatically updating. This also did not work.
The fifth step was to remove the template entirely from the Add-Ins section, also did not work.
The sixth step was going to the 'edit field codes' page and un-ticking 'Preserve formatting during updates'. This also did not fix my issues.
Can you help? My document is resetting with styles it is pulling from somewhere. I have tried to sever that link where-ever I could but nothing has worked so far. I asked a colleague to try with the same document and she had the same issue. It is occurring with a series of documents.
