Default Outlining Tabs on Word 2003

Thanks Terry. The New Macros Project was there. And I have now copied it
across (after first renaming the New Macros Project in my personal global
template to Old macros). Now I have all of the macros in the NewMacros
project in my personal global template. Thanks again.

You won't see separate macros but only a project. Copy that across. If you
don't see one under normal.dot, maybe you saved them in a different
template already?

Oops. One more question, Terry. When I open Organizer and click the
Macro-project Items tab, I do not see any of my macros to copy from the
Normal.dot to another template. How can I fix that?
Thanks for help on all of these questions.

Also Terry,

In order to keep Normal.dot slim (as you mentioned below), should I
delete the customized styles and macros from the Normal.dot list after
copying them to the BobGlobal.dot list?

Thanks Terry. That is all very helpful. I am just missing one thing.
I already have a global template, which is in the startup folder and is
the location I would like my newly customized macros and styles. But
when I click Organizer and seek to select BobGlobal.dot as the template
into which to copy styles and macros from normal.dot, I do not see
BobGlobal.dot as an option (only normal.dot and document 1). How can I
get BobGlobal as an option to copy these customizations to? Thanks
again.

Under Tools, Templates and Add-in, click on Organizer. The Organizer
is used to move custom macros, toolbars, styles and Auto Text between
templates. So create a new blank template and give it a memorable
name. Then open Organizer and select normal one side and the new
template the other side. You can now copy across the customization you
want.

You can use this method to keep normal.dot slim and fast too by always
saving your customizations to a custom template. If you then place the
custom template in the Word Startup folder (see Tools, Options, File
Locations to either find the location or change the location of this
folder). In a business environment, the Startup folder is often placed
on the server and all users have the Startup path pointing to the
server location. Then company styles, AutoText, etc may be shared by
all users.

Thanks Terry,

Now those styles are in my normal.dot template. I have read that it
is a good idea to keep your special macros and styles in another
global template, so that if you have to start over with a new
normal.dot you do not lose all of your customization. Can you tell
me how to move these styles (and a couple of new macros I just
assigned) over to my BobGlobal.dot? Thank you.

When you modify the styles (using Format, Styles dialog) there's a
check box 'Save to Template'. If you check that box before changing
the styles, when you save your document, you will be prompted to
save changes to the template xxx.dot at the same time.

How do you "Save the modified styles to the template?

Did you link the outline numbering to styles *and* save the
modified styles
to the template?

I believe I have followed the instructions in the website you
gave
corectly.
But something odd happens. If I stay in the same document where
I made
all
of the changes to the Heading styles, I can press Alt-Ctrl-1 and
it will
apply Heading 1 style, or press Alt-Ctrl 2 and apply Heading
style 2, etc.
This gives the numbering an all.

However, if I am in a new document and press Alt-Ctrl-1 it does
NOT put
any
numbering down at all.

What do I need to change?

When I am using outlining in Word and hit return and then
tab, it
gives puts
the next level numbering below at a prescribed tab set,
which is
further to
the right than I prefer. So, I would like to change this
default
tab stop
within outlining.

Is there a way to change the default tabs used in outlining
withing
MS Word
2003?
Thanks in advance,
Bob
