TOPIC

    Custom outline styles created in ClarisWorks 5.0 do not properly store custom indents.

    Note: AppleWorks is the new name for ClarisWorks.


DISCUSSION

    This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.

    Steps to reproduce:

      1. Create a new Word Processing document.
      2. Show the Styles Palette.
      3. Create a new stylesheet.
      4. Select Type: outline Based on: None
      5. Show all levels in the stylesheet window.
      6. Select Level 1.
      7. Double-click on the line spacing control in the document ruler and change the left indent to .25. Notice the indent is saved into the new style correctly.
      8. Select Level 2.
      9. Double click on the line spacing control in the document ruler and set the left indent to .50. Notice the indent is saved into the new style as 1.0.
      10. Change the left indent to .75. The indent is saved into the new style as 1.75.

    This behavior is not exhibited in ClarisWorks 4.0 or earlier.

    The ClarisWorks 5.0v2 Update corrects several minor problems with the initial release of ClarisWorks 5.0. Outline styles can now be imported correctly when overwriting an existing style. To see the problems and issues addressed in 5.0v2 .see the Tech Info Library article Number 22214 at http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n22214
