| Oct 2, 2018 at 14:49 | comment | added | FullmetalEngineer | Thanks for this answer. I couldn't get it to work by following your answer completely, but here's what I did to solve it. I have word 2016. I solved my problem by following steps 1 and 2 in your answer, but instead of 3, I went to File -> Convert (Compatibility Mode) which upgraded my document back to a .docx. Then I did ctrl + s to save it. The headings now persist. Hooray! | |
| Jun 13, 2018 at 9:26 | comment | added | Adrian W | This is the only method that solved it. May be the whole problem is related to a .doc vs. .docx compatibility issue. I my case, the document was indeed created from a .doc before. The affected headings additionally lost bold formatting for the numbering after the repair. Putting that back and saving as .doc again results in a message that formatting would be lost. So, saved as .docx, loosing compatibility, and the black background went back - at least sometimes, seems to depend on the exact order of actions. I finally managed to get it to work with your method. Thanks. | |
