Problem with applying styles document wide
Here is my situation. I have an existing document which has existing
Normal Template styles implimented throughout. I took some pieces of example text from this document and put them into a new document. These example texts include an example header, sub header, and text (I am keeping this simple for now). I save this new document with the example text as a template. Then, I define new styles for each example text based on the style the text was already using. Once the new styles were created, I made sure they were applied to the example text. I saved the template. Now, I open the original document I pulled the example text from, go to Tools Templates and Addins and 'attach' this new template to the document. I expected the styles in this new template to overwrite the old existing styles in the document, but that does not happen. The only thing that happens is that the new styles are available to use in the document (which is great but not the result I was looking for). Is there anyway to attach this template to the document so that the new styles overwrite all of the old styles they are based on in the document? I have searched and read everything I can find on this, and it sounds like it should work the way I am doing it, which means I am probably missing one small detail that is crucial for this all to work. Please help me! |
