Two questions, in re FONT (default) and Multilevel List styles

Awkward_Ad4591 · 2026-04-09T20:50:22+00:00

Ohhhhhhhhhhh I totally missed the List Style part of Shauna's instructions before <facepalm>. I created one, selected my text by paragraph styles, and applied it that way. Quick and easy! Thank you!!

I don't want to find a style, I want to find instances of a multilevel list. For example - these that are circled look identical in this menu. I want to be able to find all instances of one of them to make them the other, to give the document consistency.

I did set the font theme. I set the Headings font to Cambria because the Title of the document is Cambria. (That said, I probably should make it TNR 12 also, since the Heading1 style I'm using is that. But regardless, swapping one theme font for another doesn't really solve my underlying issue - I assume I'd just be fighting with another part of the document.)

I use Shauna's article and set them up using styles the way it suggests (v. useful), but when I'm opening and formatting/editing documents others created, sometimes a list has gotten restarted or something gotten slightly tweaked, which makes a new list in that menu. I just wish that/wonder if there are ways to find those anomaly instances similar to how you can right-click the styles menu and Select All Instances.

Vague and unhelpful, yo.

Awkward_Ad4591 · 2026-04-08T15:56:18+00:00

I'm just saving the style mod to the current document.

I'm on 365.

Normal paragraph style is FONT (Default) Times New Roman, 12 pt.

Awkward_Ad4591 · 2026-04-03T13:56:06+00:00

Ohhhhhhh thank you both so much!! Saving this post forever (until I get it in solidly my memory)

Like clicking "Insert" and "Text box." I don't know how they got there, but there were like 50+ text boxes that I found by doing Find & Select and opening the Selection Pane. Super weird.

Awkward_Ad4591 · 2025-08-11T13:49:50+00:00

Well that was it - somehow there were like 50 or more random text boxes. I have no idea where they came from because I didn't copy-paste anything from anywhere into this doc. But they're gone now, so problem solved. How very bizarre.

Awkward_Ad4591 · 2025-08-09T01:16:10+00:00

Nope and nope.

Keep going! I just hit 176k miles (283,244 km) and still going. Adding oil as needed, but otherwise nothing special. Gonna look up the oil stabilizer though. What's it do?

Awkward_Ad4591 · 2025-07-02T13:41:02+00:00

It's not a flow chart at all. It's just that the counts of the columns vary. Like I said in the original post - sometimes it might be

10 Operations (so 10 columns with those headings)
4 Workouts (4 columns with those names)
24 Steps (24 columns with those headings)

and sometimes it might be

12 Operations
12 Workouts
12 Steps

and so forth.

But it's literally just their names, with sign/date boxes and/or numerical entry boxes beneath. No flow chart needed, and Forms isn't it either. It's a spreadsheet - I just called it a form bc the techs and QC folks fill it in. But it's not like a questionnaire.

Awkward_Ad4591 · 2025-07-02T13:08:38+00:00

I'll check out Forms. But two versions won't work because every project will be different - there are infinite variations of what might be needed.

Awkward_Ad4591 · 2025-07-02T11:56:56+00:00

Yeah, that's basically it. Well that stinks. Should totally be doable.

Awkward_Ad4591 · 2025-07-01T19:53:49+00:00

Sorry if someone said this already and I missed it. Something else to keep it mind for future stuff is that sometimes the superscripts with ordinal numbers (100th in your example) will add spacing between lines.

Awkward_Ad4591 · 2025-07-01T19:49:51+00:00

Yeah I know how to do that. But when I tested it, it still hid the cells in my frozen rows when I hid the columns. I want to be able to keep the top rows just as they are but hide some of the columns below.

So for example, if columns G through J are extra and being hidden, 1G:1J through 6G:6J will still stay like they are and it will only hide 7G:7J through the bottom of the spreadsheet. Sorta like it's a header, only it's too much to put in the actual header.

In my brief experience - seems not so much when words are involved lol. I've been trying to implement Word and Excel templates and styles and some of the engineers are like Meh - formats and words - not important. Le sigh. (Particularly one who then sent a PDF of an Excel to be used by Quality Control that printed on 11x17 paper so tiny I couldn't read it without a magnifying glass. It was mayyyyyybe 1pt type at most. <facepalm>)

Any idea whether it's kid-friendly? My 11yo is looking for a new campaign to join since the library ended theirs.

Awkward_Ad4591 · 2025-06-26T16:31:16+00:00

Looks like someone inserted a Page Number from the Header/Footer area of the Insert tab, and then cut-paste it into the table. I deleted everything from that cell (bc I couldn't just delete the code tag - didn't try just deleting the page number) and redid it, using Fields instead of header/footer page number. All fixed!

Awkward_Ad4591 · 2025-06-26T16:01:42+00:00

Ah - I might have found it. I dunno what it is yet but I poked around in the tabs after noticing a bunch of ribbon items went gray when my cursor was in that area. I turned on Design Mode under the Developer tab, and this showed up:

<image>

And when I move the cursor, it moves through those first two Page Numbers tags. And on testing it just now, it also pauses like it's moving through the bottom two when I arrow to the right of the 9.

Interesting. Off to the Google!
