Adding a bullet point in Word 2003 causes Heading 3 to be applied

1

1

Without warning, Word 2003 is now turning any bullet point into Heading 3.

In addition, when I press Enter after typing my bullet point, the style is reverted back to Normal - whereas I would have expected it to continue with additional bullet points until I turn them off.

enter image description here

If I originally created the document on a different computer (running a different version of Word), then these issues are still present. This leads me to believe that it's probably not a stylesheet issue - more a Word configuration issue.

How can I solve this problem?

Are you using a style to insert bullets or are you clicking directly on the bullet icon? – Karen927 – 2014-02-13T19:56:43.187

I'm clicking directly on the bullet icon. – Richard – 2014-02-14T10:34:50.787

It turns out that the solution is, predictably, obvious:

  1. Start Word
  2. Click on Help > Detect and Repair..
  3. Click on the "Start" button.

Once repaired, the bullet points will behave as you would expect.
