SYMPTOMS
Your text-only document contains the letter "Y" with an umlaut accent, or it contains a hollow rectangle character in place of heading numbering.

A side-effect of this is that WordMail messages that contain these characters may be truncated when WordMail translates these characters as end-of-file markers.



CAUSE
You saved a Word document that contains Heading Numbering in the Text Only format.

The problem occurs when you select any of the following predefined Heading Numbering formats (Format menu):   1                      1. 1.1                1.1.           1.1.1          1.1.1. The problem also occurs when you select any of the following technical or legal predefined formats in the Bullets And Numbering dialog box (Format menu) on the Multilevel tab:   1. 1                     1.      1.1.                   1.1                 1.1.           1.1.1.                 1.1.1          1.1.1.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been corrected in Microsoft Word 97 for Windows. For additional information on a similar problem that occurs when you cross- reference text that contains multilevel numbering, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
