Quick styles sets redefining my styles
I wondered if anyone else had experienced this problem. I have created a set
of styles in a template, and then saved the styles as a new quick style set. When I then select this style set in a new document, the styles definition has changed. For instance the followed by style had changed to a different style, and in another instance it removed numbering from a style. I also tried copying the template to the Quick Styles folder instead, but the same thing was happening. If I apply the styles using the quick style set to a new document, the styles change - if I attach the template and update the styles from the template, they go back to how they should be so I know the styles are OK in the template. I've checked that all the styles were on the quick styles list before saving. Any ideas welcome. |

Quick styles sets redefining my styles
When you apply a style set, the styles of that set replace the styles
already in the document (assuming that the style names match of course). That is the expected behavior. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Kimmi" wrote in message ...

Quick styles sets redefining my styles
Applying a quick style (or any style) in a document where the based-on
styles are different from the based-on style where the style were created could produce a different look (including when the styles are based on no style, which means they're based on the defaults that in W2007 are document properties€”unlike in previous versions). That's why your styles look fine when the right template is attached. How you fix (or accommodate it) this depends on how you want to use these styles and your template.
