Style problems in Word 07
In Office Word 07 (Windows Vista), I cannot find a way to solve a formatting
problem Im having. When I highlight a paragraph to change its style, the whole document changes to the style I chose for the selected paragraph. Also, If I change a paragraphs word-font size or color, the whole document changes according to the style in the selected paragraph. I opened Microsoft Vistas €śModify Style€ť box, but, unlike in Windows XP, there was no checkbox for €śAutomatically Update€ť. I also clicked on the Office Button and selected €śWord Options€ť, and the €śPopular€ť on the €śenable live preview€ť was already checked. Furthermore, none of the €śStyles€ť box selections solves the problem. Any suggestions? Mal |

Style problems in Word 07
Hi ?B?TWFs?=,
When I highlight a paragraph to change its style, the whole document changes to the style I chose for the selected paragraph. Also, If I change a paragraphs word-font size or color, the whole document changes according to the style in the selected paragraph. Did this document (or its template) originate in Word 2007 or an earlier version? The Automatically Update property for styles still exists, but the option won't show up in the "Modify" dialog box unless it was turned on for the style when it was created. You can still access it through the object model (a macro), however. You might try running this macro to check the setting. Click in the paragraph, then run the macro Sub IsCurrentStyleAutoUpdate() Dim styl As Word.Style Set styl = Selection.Style MsgBox "The style " & styl.NameLocal & _ "'s automatic update setting is " & _ styl.AutomaticallyUpdate End Sub Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 17 2005) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

Thanks for your reply, Cindy.
Yes, I used the macro in Word 03. I had the difficulty in that edition, too.
