Keeping or restoring "Start at" value for heading list after updating styles from a template

Guessed · #1 04-14-2019, 09:59 PM

Ahh, I see you have used a List style and applied it to Heading 1 (so Heading 1 list's settings are effectively being overridden by the list style). I never use list styles because of the extra layer of complexity, but since you have used it, the code needs to be addressing that ListTemplate instead

Code:

Sub ScheduleUpdateStylesFromTemplate()
  Dim x As Long, aLT As ListTemplate  
  Set aLT = ActiveDocument.Styles("Numbered Headings").ListTemplate
  x = aLT.ListLevels(1).StartAt
    ActiveDocument.UpdateStyles             'reimports styles from the attached template
  aLT.ListLevels(1).StartAt = x
End Sub
