SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to apply a heading style to the text in a table cell by using a shortcut key, Microsoft Word applies the change to every other paragraph in the same table cell or in the same row of the table.

For example, if you do the following
 * 1) Type a paragraph in a cell.
 * 2) Press ALT+SHIFT+LEFT ARROW to apply the Heading 1 style, and then press ENTER.
 * 3) Type a new paragraph in the cell.
 * 4) Press ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW to apply the Heading 2 style to the second paragraph.

the first paragraph takes on the Heading 2 style.

NOTE: This problem occurs to the paragraphs contained either in the same table cell or in the same row of the table. This problem does not occur to the paragraphs contained in the other rows of the table.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, select the text to which you want to apply the heading style and then use either of the following methods:
 * On the Formatting toolbar, click the heading style that you want in the Style list.

-or-
 * On the Format menu, click Style. In the List box, click All styles. In the Styles list, click the style that you want to apply, and then click Apply.



STATUS
