WD: Agenda Wizard Removes Numbers or Bullets from Text

ID: Q143220

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
• Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 6.0, 6.0.1
• Microsoft Word for Windows NT, version 6.0
• Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Agenda Wizard and specify an agenda topic that starts with a number, such as "10 Year Analysis" (without the quotation marks), Word removes the leading number in your text.

CAUSE

The macro code in the Agenda Wizard is applying a numbering format to the Agenda Topics. When you apply numbering format, Word automatically replaces the leading number (or bullet) because it does not allow you to use both characters together.

RESOLUTION

When you type your entries in the Agenda Wizard, add a hyphen between the number and text, like this:

   10-Year Analysis
