Word 2007 Quick Styles
I modified the Normal Style, changing the font, font size, and spacing
following end of paragraph. I want this style to be in effect for the next paragraph, making it the style after hitting ENTER to force and end of paragraph. When modifying the style, the STYLE FOR FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH only shows me names of Microsoft provided styles, not the new style I have just created. I did rename it, and it does show in the styles ribbon. I'm sure I am missing something obvious because this behavior is simply unacceptable and I sure would have been caught in QA. Ideas ?? |

Word 2007 Quick Styles
Whether you have modified a built-in style or created a new one, the same
style is always the default style for the following paragraph. If you have modified the Normal style, then, unless you select a different style, the following style for Normal will be Normal, and it will be as you have modified it. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2007 Quick Styles
Suzanne,
Thanks for the response. I agree with your logic and believe that is true in Office 2005 and earlier, but that is not the way Word 2007 is behaving. If I leave the follow-on style field blank, it defaults to the NORMAL style, not the one I have modified. Further, the style I have named is not shown in the list of styles so I cannot put it in the follow-on style field. --- Kent "Suzanne S.

Word 2007 Quick Styles
If you have modified the Normal style (as opposed to creating a new style
based on it), then the modified style is still called Normal. -- Suzanne S.
