What are the default heading styles?
Hi,
This is sort of a follow-up to the posting subject: "Set Styles to Factory Default" I've been working with our IT group to figure out the template regeneration issue (every time we try, it still looks like the heading styles have been altered from MS factory default). Does anyone know where I can get the specs of default heading styles? We are using Word 2000 and this is what our Normal.dot gives us: Heading 1: Arial 16pt, Bold (Should be Times, 14pt, bold) Heading 2: Arial 14pt, Bold and Italic (should be times, 12pt, bold and italic) etc. Thanks Anthony |

What are the default heading styles?
Has anybody mentioned yet that if you attempt to delete a built-in style
(like Heading 1) in the Organizer (under Tools | Macros or maybe Tools | Templates and Add-ins), it is supposed to return to the default definition? I'm in a different version but the default Heading 1 here is not Times Bold 14pt, nor what you say "should be" for Heading 2. If they were so defined, I think fewer people would complain about Word's "ransom-note" formatting. I think the Arial styles are the default. In fact, I just went and checked on a public computer running Word 2000 that I strongly doubt anybody has bothered to customize, and Heading 1 is 16pt Arial Bold and Heading 2 is 14pt Arial Bold Italic. What made you think these were not the default?

Unfortunately, the built-in heading styles and Normal can't be deleted in
this way. But if you start Word with the /a switch (or rename Normal.dot), the styles will have their default formatting. -- Suzanne S.

Oops. Somewhere I picked up the (incorrect) notion that the refusal to
delete it nevertheless reset the definition. Apologies for confusing the issue. DM On 7/28/04 7:37 PM, "Suzanne S.

Hmm. Maybe it does! I confess I haven't tested that... Well, I just did (and
I realized in the process that it's in "Styles in use," not "User-defined styles" that you have to do it), and (in Word 2003 at least), the Delete button is disabled for heading styles. -- Suzanne S.
