Updating Styles
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 |

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." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Tarallen" wrote in 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. "Stefan Blom" wrote: Why not just rename "S1" to "S2"?

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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Tarallen" wrote in message ...
