Numbering and bullets in Word docs keep disappearing
When working as a team on Word files within SharePoint, I constantly have problems with things like heading numbering disappearing (or changing from numbers to bullets), bullets going missing or bull...
I'm experiencing the same problem.
When I share a document using Sharepoint and only give other authors "review" rights the formatting drops from the document.
This has been a problem for years (as evidenced by this thread). Is it really so hard for Microsoft to fix their bugs?
I encourage everyone to submit feedback to MS Word to get this issue on their radar. From some MS Word installations, you can submit feedback directly in the application by going to Help > Feedback. For me, I had to use the online version of the software and click the smiley face in the upper-right-hand corner of the interface.

Thetravis12 here we are in June 2024 and I am still having this same issue (and have been for years – I was brought here from your previous thread in 2022). I've tried all the suggestions I've found since 2021 and nothing resolves the issue, so I'm also using macros to fix the problems when they arise, but that's just a band-aid. I've submitted a ticket to Microsoft using your link above. Let's hope this eventually gets resolved!
