4
I've a multi level list defined in Word 2013.
It's level 4 is corrupted and looks strange (all other levels are fine):
(it should be "1.1. level 4 list item", but "1.1." is just masked)
In "define new multilevel list" window it's sample is already strange, it just shows as a small line at the left-top corner of the text box (see text box left from "font"), while it's sample in the list looks fine:
Opening "font" properties from "define new multilevel list" window I can see that it has font size 0.
However, even after fixing font size (and also re-selecting all values just to be sure), I can't approve changes by pressing OK, neither go to advanced tab as I'm getting this error message:
I can close the window only by pressing Cancel. As it's a multilevel list, I can't easily select part of it, format as needed, then change the style to match formatting.
I've also tried with a macro:
Font.reset
didn't helpFont.Size
is 0;.Position
,.Scaling
&.Spacing
are all 9999999, but setting them to a valid value (12, 0, 100, 1 respectively) doesn't do anything at all (no error message, but also no improvement).
How can I fix this font without recreating the whole list style?
@fixer1234 please see my clarification – Máté Juhász – 2016-06-27T21:17:48.880
Is it just the list numbering that's messed up (the text is displaying as intended)? – fixer1234 – 2016-06-27T21:19:35.297
yes, only the numbering which is wrong, text is correct – Máté Juhász – 2016-06-27T21:21:37.353
It's already defined and it's fine, I've issue only with level 4. – Máté Juhász – 2016-06-27T21:27:16.253
1Usually when you get odd characters in a text entry box that aren't standard keyboard characters, and you can't simply delete the character, it's diagnostic of corruption. In that case, you don't know the extent of what's corrupted, and you can't diagnose the problem in the normal way (the strange font setting is probably just another artifact). Things don't behave logically according to what's displayed in settings, so the safe solution is to clear it and redo it. One thing to try if practical is to select the whole document, copy it, and paste it into a new document. – fixer1234 – 2016-06-27T22:20:11.623
1Thanks @fixer1234! Copying whole document to an empty while with the correct template has solved the issue! – Máté Juhász – 2016-06-28T06:07:30.130
