Whether the template is on my computer or on SharePoint, once the styles start messing up they will continue to keep messing up, so putting the template on SharePoint doesn't seem to have fixed it. (Note: I always make sure the "update styles from template" is kept off). I have a macro that has the location of the template hard coded, and it links the document to the template, updates the styles, then turns off the checkbox again. When the document styles go haywire, to fix it all I need to do is link back to the template and update the styles. So, I started saving the template in a location on SharePoint (along with the documents) and making sure it was linked to it. However, often I found that the template had reverted back to "Normal". As I understand it, this shouldn't be an issue because unless people play around with what template the document is linked to, it shouldn't change. Create documents from Word template (bid response schedules, one for each).Īt this point, the template resides on my computer, in my OneDrive folder. I was always approaching this from a Word bug perspective, but maybe it's something I'm doing wrong in regard to SharePoint.
#All of the heading styles in word are pdf#
I can fix it all, PDF it, save and close, and when I open the Word doc again it's all gone haywire once more.

Other formatting things happen, like table column widths messing up. From what I can see, the custom list styles in the documents go missing. When working as a team on Word files within SharePoint, I constantly have problems with things like heading numbering disappearing (or changing from numbers to bullets), bullets going missing or bullets turning into numbers.
