SYMPTOMS
When you open a Word 97 document in Word 7.x for Windows 95, an extra tab setting is inserted at the beginning of paragraphs formatted as Outline Numbered (Multilevel) with linked heading styles.
CAUSE
Word 97 bases the first line indent on an internal tab setting, and Word 7.x numbering bases the first line indent on the "distance from number to text" setting. The Word 97 Import Converter (Mswrd832.cnv) cannot map this feature back to the Word 7.x "distance from number to text" setting and retains the tab.
NOTE: To view the "distance from number to text" setting, follow these steps:
- In Word 7.x, click Bullets And Numbering on the Format menu.
- On the Multilevel tab, click Modify.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, upgrade to the latest version of the Word 97 Import Converter. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
