SYMPTOMS

In Word 7.x for Windows 95, when you open a Word 97 document, outline numbered (multilevel) paragraphs may be incorrectly numbered.

NOTE: Blank lines may also be incorrectly numbered.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Word 97 Import Converter (Mswrd832.cnv) converts an outline numbered paragraph incorrectly if the paragraph is broken across a page break.

NOTE: When this problem occurs, a blank line (paragraph) is added above the page break and is assigned the heading style of the paragraph that follows the page break.
