Browser-based editing causing styles corruption?
I recall reading -- likely here -- about browser-based editing causing corruption. I'm unable to find the thread and have an issue where a bullet list style became corrupted after authors edited via browser.
I'd be grateful for a link to the post or to other information about how browser-based work can cause corruption. (The odd thing was, the corruption created lettered elements in the bullet list, which I've never seen before. Also odd was, the usual fix -- copying an intact version of the style back in -- didn't work.) Thanks |

I generally avoid editing complex documents in the online version of Word.
One would think that applying built-in styles would be safe in Word Online, but apparently not. :-( Recently, I lost bullet formatting in a (short) document which I edited online. It happened to a paragraph where I wasn't doing any editing at the moment. The style just got lost and I had to re-apply it to the text paragraph. This was a minor issue, of course, but it underlines the fact that editing isn't reliable in Word Online.

Ulodesk added an insight there that seems to confirm my hunch that the browser edits is to blame when lists go bad.

Consider this a third vote against editing complex documents in the browser (or mobile) versions.

Thanks for the responses, folks. I'm updating our best-practices guidelines to recommend not using the browser...
