end-of-row markers not displaying when 'show markers' is turned on

Hi all,

I  created a template for a client with a base style (body text) indented 0.5 cm from the left-hand margin. It seemed sensible to set the default paragraph style to have the same properties as this style, so I did this on the Set Defaults tab of the Manage Styles dialog. I subsequently discovered that all my table end-of row markers turned 'invisible' (you could still select them, but the symbol indicating the row end wasn't visible, even though the colour was set to 'automatic'). When I changed the default indent back to 0, the markers redisplayed.

Can anyone explain this - is it a Word 2007 bug, and is it fixed in Word 2010?

Many thanks

Glenda

    Thanks for checking, Stefan. Pity it's not fixed in 2010, but It's not a big deal, I guess.

    It doesn't appear to cause any trouble—but who knows... :-(

    At the very least it's annoying.

    This does seem like a bug, and I can reproduce it in Word 2010 as well.
