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 realize this is an old thread that somehow surfaced again.
Templates stored on SharePoint do not act the same as when stored on a computer.
Bullets and numbering seem to often get broken when the document is edited in the online app. Try to only have it edited in the desktop application.
Bullets and numbering, to be stable, must be tied to styles as set forth in How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in Ribbon Versions of Word by Shauna Kelly. See also Automatic Numbering in Word - my 4-page pdf.
I have a similar problem.
I am working on the Microsoft App on Mac using SharePoint, together with a Windows device (I’m not sure if this could be the issue).
Suddenly, the chapter and subchapter numbers disappeared from the entire file, even though they were correctly displayed until a few days ago.
