Today I got strange problem with word 2010 and style usage.
Problem 1:
How I can repeat problem:
- Open new document
- write some text
- Press heading 1 on "styles" ribbon.
However, instead of applying heading 1 style and adding my text to "nagivation" pane, it appears as text have no style. I see that on "styles" popup new style is added(see Picture 1). However, it looks exactly like "normal" text.
Problem 2:
I try to modify this created style, I see that new style is based on "normal" format, which is OK. However, when I change it to be based on "Heading 1"(which is base style), it says that "You cannot base a style on itself". (Picture 2) However, it is different style, according to my understanding.
Problem 3:
I close word and create new document, write there some text. I try to modify built-in "heading 1" style. Normally you can modify it without any problem. However, when I do something, for example add "bold", it shows me popup with following text: "This style name already exists or is reserved for a built-in style." (Picture 3)
Problem 4:
I add table using Insert -> table. Table is always created without any styles, totally empty. When I go to "Table tools -> Design" and select style there, nothing happens. style is not applied to my table, I have to color it manually.
Same things happen to all my old documents - I can only apply style now by copying some word and continuing to write on it.
I already tried following things:
- delete Templates in user folder.
- Reset all registry edits for current user.
- Repair Office 2010 from Control panel
Any idea how to fix that problem?
It really stops me from working.
Update 7.01.2013:
Tried office 2010 reinstallation - not helped. Also tried to use procmon to check which others registry entries/files word tries to read - not found anything that I haven't deleted yet.
In addition - created new user on my computer, everything works fine for him.
Any more ideas, how to fix that for current user ?
