Time I lost all numbers when I was on page 40, now only few pages before finish.ĭuring all editing all numbers and bullet points were OK, also every few minutes I was closing and reopening file just to be sure that all is fine. Strange thing is that all tabulators and text format still looks as it should, "only" the numbers and bullet points disappeared. Safe function was on and that I was saving (ctrl + S) every few minutes after closing and reopening of document all headings and bullet points disappeared! Few pages before finish of editing I lost all heading numbers and bullet points. 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).
