Styleref - disappearing reference
I am using Word 2003 in a Windows XP Pro environment. I have a document which
uses the StyleRef field in the footers to assist the reader when navigating the, rather large, document. On one page, in the middle of a lengthy section, the StyleRef does not show the text referenced. All of the other footers in the section show the text correctly (I am using odd and even pages and they look great), there actually is text on the page using the referenced style (although that shouldn't matter), and there isn't an "empty" or blank spot on the page which has the referenced style assigned to it (I did a search on the style and everything looked normal). I tried deleting and replacing the StyleRef field and the referenced text with no success. Any suggestions?

Did you turn on Show Non-Printing Characters (Ctrl-Shift-8) and check
for empty paragraph marks? On Mar 24, 4:08*pm, Joseph Talbott wrote: I am using Word 2003 in a Windows XP Pro environment.

Styleref - disappearing reference
My experience has been that there *is* an empty paragraph or space or
*something* formatted with the style; it can be very elusive, however. -- Suzanne S.

Styleref - disappearing reference
Thanks Suzanne. I agree that there *should* be an empty paragraph, space or
something formatted with the style but I can't find it. I have selected all occurrences of the referenced style and counted them and have even gone so far as to clear all assigned styles in the pages around the Styleref placement (going from where it worked correctly before the broken connection to where it worked correctly after it) and reassign the styles to make sure I didn't miss anything. Nothing changed and the mystery remains. I am not going to lose any sleep over it but I hate not being able to find a solution, especially with a feature I use a lot. Thanks again for weighing in on this one. Joe "Suzanne S.

a look. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Joseph Talbott" wrote in message ... Thanks Suzanne.

To close out this thread, Suzanne looked at the offending portion of my
document and determined that the missing text was tied up in Track Changes. Once the changes were accepted (or probably deleted too) the StyleRef text appeared normally. It was a great catch Suzanne.

I'm glad I was able to spot it.
