Well, if S2 exists as an alias, you cannot create a style by that
name (using any method). You'll have to get rid of the alias first. To
do this, open the Modify Style dialog box (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...fyAStyle.html). In the
"Name" box, delete all aliases (listed after the original style
name). Click OK. Then you can rename the S1 style as I suggested in my
previous message.

I tried that but S2 is an alias of a built-in style so it won't let
me name
anything else the same thing because the name is reserved for a
built-in
style.

Why not just rename "S1" to "S2"? You can use the Organizer for
this
(Tools | Templates and Add-Ins, click the Organizer button). Then
make
the changes you want for "S2."

Hello,
I am creating a style (S2) by selecting an existing style (S1)
that
I don't
want to use any more, then right-clicking the S2 style name and
selecting
'Update to Match Selection.' However, when I do this, it bases
the
S2 on S1.
But I want to get rid of S1. Do I have to create this style from
scratch? I
wanted to avoid that because it has so many complexities in the
setup.
Thanks,
Tara
