This article was previously published under Q165303
SYMPTOMS
If you turn on Track Changes and then delete some text, you will be unable
to modify the bullet or numbering properties of that text if you deleted
the paragraph mark of that paragraph.
CAUSE
This behavior is by design. The bullet or numbering status of the paragraph
will remain unchanged until a new paragraph mark takes its place.
WORKAROUND
To retain the ability to apply or remove bullets or numbering to the
paragraph, the paragraph mark must not be marked for deletion. You can
"unmark" the paragraph for deletion by following these steps:
- Turn on the Show/Hide button on the Standard toolbar so your paragraph
marks are showing in the document.
- Select the paragraph mark at the end of the paragraph that you want to
"unmark" for deletion.
- On the Tools menu, point to Track Changes, and click Accept Or Reject
Changes.
- Click the Reject button to "unmark" the paragraph mark.
- Click the Close button to return to the document.
You can now add or remove bullets or numbering to the deleted paragraph.
