Word 2010 Black Out Numbered Headings 2 Options
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ธ.ค. 2016
- If you find that your numbered headings have suddenly turned into black boxes, you need to watch this video. Here are 2 options to correct the problem.
I was made aware of a 3rd option: For each style that has the black boxes, go to the Style dialog box. Find your style, right click and select Modify. At the bottom left of the dialog box, click on Format and select Numbering. Click on the "None" box. Click OK. Now go to the Home tab and in the Paragraph group, click the down arrow on Multilevel list. Find your numbered list and the black boxes should be gone. Good luck! Please let me know if it worked.

Thanks Michelle :) fantastic advice - i'd been struggling with this problem for days. Option 1 worked first time: wish i'd visited youtube earlier.
Mark Bamford, Hi! Thanks for watching and for the comment. Just make sure when you open the document again that the black boxes don't reappear. Just in case, I was made aware of a 3rd option: For each style that has the black boxes, go to the Style dialog box. Find your style, right click and select Modify. At the bottom left of the dialog box, click on Format and select Numbering. Click on the "None" box. Click OK. Now go to the Home tab and in the Paragraph group, click the down arrow on Multilevel list. Find your numbered list and the black boxes should be gone. Good luck! Have a great day! Michelle Seitz

It's a win 💥💃 option 1 hit a home run for my Research project 😃
Hi Shamisa Marabwa, That is great! Thank you for commenting and thank you for watching! Stay safe. Michelle Seitz
@@Formattingformula actually, after saving and opening the doc again I'm back to square one. And option two isn't working 😣. I tried creating a new heading with the same formatting and everytime it goes black. Mine blackens this level *1.1.1* in a multi-level numbered list. Be it 3.3.1 or 5.2.4 please assist
@@shamisomarabwa202, I have not had the opportunity to try this option, but please try this to see if it helps. For each heading that is giving you the black box, in the Styles list, select the style and select Modify and then in the Format tab at the bottom, select Numbering. Make sure the Numbering tab is set to None. Click OK. Once you are done with that, go to the Home tab and in the Paragraph group, select the Multi-level list that contains your heading numbering. I was told that just by doing that, the boxes should disappear. Please let me know if this helps. Thanks for letting me know. Michelle
@@Formattingformula Yesss it works!!! For hours I've been pining for a solution and it's just been so frustrating (not to mention, greatly disheartening). I've saved and closed and opened the doc again and the heading is working just fine. It works. Thank you, thank you Michelle
And thank you for responding so timeously 😊
@@shamisomarabwa202 That is fabulous! Thank you so much for letting me know. And thanks again for watching! Have a great day! Michelle
I used the 1st and 2nd steps but when I closed my doc and opened it again, it blackbox still appeared. So I tried to applied the 3rd step and the blackbox has not appeared anymore although I must a bit tired to changed it from beginning. Thankyou so much
Hi Gabriel Rendy, Word definitely has some gremlins. I am happy that one of the remedies worked for you. Thanks for watching and for letting me know. Have a great day! Michelle Seitz
These types of formatting issues are often related to the fact that a Word document is in "Compatibility Mode", meaning that the document was originally created in a pre 2007 version of Word (MS 2003 and before .doc version) and has not been brought up to date. The .doc versions still have the older (pre .XML language) formatting and become corrupt over time when opened in MS 2007 or later. To convert an older version of MS Word documents to the newer .docx version, open the .doc document, go to File and hit the "Convert" button. The document will be converted to .docx. Save the document and make the corrections to the formatting. Then save the document again and the formatting updates should hold going forward.
Thank you Catherine! I will definitely keep this in mind for future. Thank you so much for sharing! Michelle Seitz
Spot on!
Terrific! I am very happy that it helped you! Have a great day! Thanks for watching and for taking time to send a comment! Michelle Seitz
Thank you so much for your explanation. It was very helpful for me.
Hi Abraham Giroth, Make sure that when you close and open the document that the black boxes do not return. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to send me a comment! Have a great day! Michelle Seitz
Thanks! It works, and I appreciate it.
That is terrific, imA5H. thank you for watching and for taking time to send a comment! Have a great day! Michelle Seitz
@@Formattingformula Option 1 was fine, but when i open my Word file back, it become black box again and both option can't be used :(
I was made aware of a 3rd option: For each style that has the black boxes, go to the Style dialog box. Find your style, right click and select Modify. At the bottom left of the dialog box, click on Format and select Numbering. Click on the "None" box. Click OK. Now go to the Home tab and in the Paragraph group, click the down arrow on Multilevel list. Find your numbered list and the black boxes should be gone. The only other option, which is a last resort, is to copy your text into another blank document without the headings that have the black boxes. I have had to resort to this option a couple of times. It's not ideal but sometimes it is the only thing left to do. Good luck! Have a great day! Michelle Seitz
Thank you!
Hi 19. Moch Fahmi Izzuddin, Thank YOU for watching and taking time to send a comment! Have a great day! Michelle Seitz
I spent alot of time tey to solve crazy problems and asking pepole to help me with this issue im my thesis. Thanks a lot
Hi Medean Adnan, I know this issue is crazy. I think Word has many gremlins in it and this is one of them. Make sure that when you save and go back in the document that the black boxes are truly gone. Sometimes they come back. I have had to start a new document and copy in all text except for the Headings and recreated them to get rid of the issue. Good luck and thanks for watching! Michelle Seitz
Thank you!! Option 2 worked for me.
Finally. Thank you so much! Option 1 worked for mine:""
Hi Devi Aulia Rahma, Just make certain that when you open it up again that the boxes don't re-appear. If so, try the other options in my previous comments below. Good luck! Thanks for watching and for sending me a comment! Have a great day! Michelle Seitz

Great tutorial, option 1 and 2 diid not work for me when I left and returned to the document, BUT, option 3 in the description fixed it.
Hi Sean Masterson, Don't you just hate those gremlins! Very aggravating, I know. Sometimes you just have to start over with a new blank document and copy in all but the headings with the black boxes and retype them. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to send me a comment! Have a great day! Michelle Seitz
thank you very much for this video, option 1 worked for my document
Hi Anitha and Dan, Make sure that it still works after you open and close it. Thanks for watching and for sending a comment! Michelle Seitz
thank you! it worked. I think that I did it with a combination of the two options you suggested.
That is terrific, Konstantinos Tompoulidis! Thank you for letting me know. Michelle Seitz

Solution 1 worked for me.
Thanks!!!!

@@Formattingformula no problem!
Does it make sense that the same problem presist each time I open the file?
@@Gigis1111 , Some files just have gremlins in them. I have some files that it happens to all the time. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason. I have even tried copying them to a new template and it still persists. I wish I had a better answer for you. Other than creating the document over again but that is not always feasible. Good luck!
@@Formattingformula thanks for the quick response. I'll hire a gremlinator then.
@@Gigis1111 , Ha! or hit it with a hammer or rock! Word can be so frustrating and that is why I created the videos so nobody else has to pull out their hair like I did at one time! Have a great day!
Thanks

Nick Danai, Great to hear.I was made aware of a 3rd option: For each style that has the black boxes, go to the Style dialog box. Find your style, right click and select Modify. At the bottom left of the dialog box, click on Format and select Numbering. Click on the "None" box. Click OK.

Option 1 usually works, but this time both options do not work for my document! Do you know any other way (other than re-numbering the whole document). Thank you.
Ha Nguyen, There is some other thing you can try. Go to File>Options>Add-ins and in the Manage field at the bottom of the dialog box, click the down arrow and select Templates, then click Go. In the Document template field, there is a path to the template that was used to create the document. Click the Attach button and even though it appears that the correct template is attached, when you click Attach button, in the screen that pops up, click on the template again and select Open. Then click OK. Hopefully, that works. The worst option is to open a new blank template and copy in all the text except the lines with the black boxes. You will need to re-create that text altogether. I hope this helps and thank you for watching! Michelle Seitz
Hi, I have the same problem, can anyone tell me how this is fixed using a Mac? Neither the key-combination nor the right-click action seems to change anything..
Hi Oliver, I have not come across this in Mac. However, can you send me your document to see if I can figure out an answer? support@formattingformula.com. Thanks, Michelle Seitz

Hi Lan Koprivc, Thank you for taking the time to send me a comment! I hope it helped! Michelle Seitz
please let me know if you have permanent fix for this problem. It recurs every time I open the file :(
Hi Dipendra Shrestha, It it occurs to the same document, you will have to start with a new document/template and carefully copy in your text (but not the Headings). You will need to create new Headings in the new document/template. If it happens to other documents, you will have to do the same thing. I know how annoying this is for you. It happens more than you think. I believe it is a "bug" from Microsoft and hope they fix this in upcoming versions. Thanks for watching! Michelle Seitz
@@Formattingformula thank you very much for the reply but you know I'm working on a document which is more than 250 pages so creating a new document, copying /pasting will take more time which I don't have right now :( nonetheless ctrl shift S will work for me right now, thank you very very much, you're lifesaver for me right now

I am glad you replied to my comment.I have a question your solution worked(option 1),while my file was opened.However after i reopened the file my problem reappeared.What can i do to solve this problem?
The one thing that worked is saving the file into Microsoft word 2003.
Hi Mohamad, Sometimes it takes a few times to get it to stick. It is hit or miss with the gremlins in Word. I never saw it happen in 2003 and you can attest. I'm not sure why it does it in the subsequent versions of Word. Try fixing it again and then restart your computer and see it that helps also, if trying it multiple times does not work. Thanks for watching! Michelle
doesn't work
Hi Jason, It is definitely a bugger for some people. Sometimes the only thing to do is to start a new document and copy in the text but without the heading lines and add new Headings. I know it is cumbersome but sometimes it is the only thing you can do. If you want help with it, please send me the document and I will see if I can help. support@formattingformula.com. Good luck!
