using AO 4.1.5; for some reason when I type a something on a new line and end it with ':' that is, with the colon, the format of the line changes from my default to 'Heading 3'.

That's supposed to happen - but when you type Ctrl+3, not Shift+: . A few thoughts:

o Go to Tools | Customise... | Keyboard.
o Under Category, open the Styles entry and select Paragraph.
o Under Function, select "Heading 3".
o What does it say under Keys? It should be Ctrl+3; is it something else?

o Go to Tools | Customise... | Keyboard.
o Under Category, select Format.
o Under Function, select Apply.
o What does it say under Keys? It should be nothing; is it something else?

o If Shift+: is being interpreted as Ctrl+3, is there something seriously wrong with your keyboard driver? Or keyboard? What happens if you type Shift+: in another application?

But I'm guessing ...

I trust this helps.

I had, I recall, rooted around in those settings but it was good to have another look. all these settings look 'kosher'.

the problem has cleared up though. here is my hypothesis but I don't know if it makes sense: perhaps my default.ott was misconfigured/corrupt (I make adjustments relatively often) and it 'caught something'.

I don't know why I didn't immediately see a change when I replaced it with an older copy, I don't know when it gets loaded. I usually do not restart AO but maybe I had. loaded a document that gave me the problem and there's no problem now.

I much appreciate the good advice!
