Couple of days ago I had a very strange problem.  I was working with
  Word 6.0 in WIN95.  I had a series of paragraphs which had the number
  option turned on.  At some point in my editing, I stuck a comment at
  the end of one of the paragraphs, and then reset the font for that
  comment into Bold, Underline, Italic.
  Later on, I realized that the number for that paragraph had become BUI
  as well.  Nothing else in the paragraph was.  There was nothing I
  could do to remove that BUI from the number.
  At one point, I tried to delete the CR that made the paragraph, and
  then restore it.  All that did for me was to make the numbers for the
  last *two* paragraphs into BUI.
  Eventually the only way that I could find to undo that was to start
  over at the top, create four empty paragraphs (with a normal number)
  and then to cut and paste the text from the damaged paragraphs into
  the new ones.
  Can anyone explain what was going on -- and how I could have removed
  the formatting of BUI from the numbers?   I kept looking for the Word
  Perfect Reveal codes button so that I could understand -- but don't
  think that Word has that.
