Place the insertion point in the style that has the desired formatting. In the Styles pane (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S), right-click the style that you want to update. On the context menu, click Update <style name> to Match Selection.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your reply, but I don't think that's what I'm looking for. This problem of the numbered "B" style bullets happens sporadically throughout a 200 page document, and all these occurences are not changed by your suggestion. What you described changes the formatting of Style B in my Style Bar to now match Style A, but all occurences of Style B bullet formatting in the document (which were present prior to your suggestion) are not changed at all in their formatting. They are still numbered bullets.

Since changing the style doesn't help, that suggests number or bullet formatting has been applied as direct formatting to text. Reapplying the correct style, for example via Find and Replace, would be a better solution.

Gah. So there's no global fix?

Ok, thanks.
