[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Microsoft Word Question

Don_C_Rudolph@cup.portal.com (12/11/87)

I have a question about Microsoft Word 4.0's style bar.  In outline
mode, there is a "b" in the style bar area instead of my defined name
key code.  In regular mode, I have the same "b" and in addition a "^"
preceding my text.

I first noticed this when I tried to print out a report that was typed
in outline mode.  Some of the text was missing.  I must admit, I was
"playing" with the outline mode when I first noticed it.  Any help
would be appreciated.

A question was posted about the letter 'b' in the style bar area of
MS Word 4.0.  The 'b' is your symbol for a running head formatted
to appear at the 'b'ottom of the page.  (Personally, I prefer the
term 'footer', but obviously MS doesn't.)  A list of style bar
symbols is in the Word 4.0 companion Reference Manual - pg 84.

It's to signify a bottom running-head.  (A running-head at the top of the 
document would have a t ^ in the style bar area.).  Delete it to get rid of 
it, of course.
