Number is Blacked Out on 3rd Level of a Numbered Heading Document
I built a document that required numbered headings (1., 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.1.1, 2, 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, etc.). Everything works fine except Heading Level 3. Where the number and the space following it should be, there is a black "box", for want of a better description. The number is, apparently, under the black box, because lower level headings are appropriately numbered (and visible). I haven't been able to locate anything that instructs the numbering to do that and I checked the border style - there is no border of shading associated with the heading level.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing it? Thanks. |

If you click the actual number for a Heading 3 paragraph and press Ctrl+SpaceBar, does that fix the problem? (Ctrl+SpaceBar is assigned to the ResetChar built-in command, which removes font formatting not stored in a paragraph style.)

Stefen, I found your solution a couple years ago and remembered I wanted to say thanks when I saw the bookmark today. So...thanks!
There are a few other methods that work in many cases, but only yours works in all cases. A great find for me that I share with others whenever I can. |

Thanks for the feedback!
Note that there is also a macro (created by Doug Robbins) which will reset the character formatting for all lists in a document: Code:
Sub Fixit() 'Macro created by MVP Doug Robbins Dim templ As ListTemplate Dim lev As ListLevel For Each templ In ActiveDocument.ListTemplates For Each lev In templ.ListLevels lev.Font.Reset Next lev Next templ End Sub
