Styles in Word 2007
I've created my own heading and bullet Styles in word 2007, however when I
try to 'Motify' a particular style (i.e. bullet style) by changing the identation in 'Paragraph' it doesn't save my changes when I reopen a new document. Is there step by step instructions I need to follow in order to save these changes. Your help would be appreciated. -- Thanks and regards Mandy |

Styles in Word 2007
You need to save the modifications to the styles to the template.
When you modify a style in a document, there should be a check box for "Add to Template" or something like that (not sure with 2007), this will save the modification to the template. Or "Open" the template file itself (not just click on it as this will only open a new document based on the template) and do the neccessary modifictions, save. The next time you open a new document based on this template the changes should be there.

Styles in Word 2007
...indents in numbered/bulleted styles can't be set through the Paragraph
dialog. They have to be set in one of the dialogs for numbered lists. Suzanne, I don't think that's right. If you're using styles for your numbered paragraphs, you can modify the paragraph indentation using the ruler or right-clicking and selecting paragraph, or any other way you can think of to change them, and then with your cursor still in the modified paragraph, right-click on the style in the Quick Styles gallery and update the style "to match selection," and THEN the change will "stick".... for that document only, of course, unless you save the modified paragraph style to your Normal.dotm template.

Styles in Word 2007
Hmmmm.... I sense some hostility toward Word 2007. ~:-) Well, guys, it DOES
work in Word 2007 and we do it all the time. IF you assign styles to your outline-numbered paragraphs (in our office, we created styles called "Level 1," "Level 2," etc., that are ONLY used for outlined-numbered paragraphs), and IF you make changes to a styled paragraph and then update the style, the formatting WILL stick to that style.... unless you change it back.

"hostility toward Word 2007," though I confess I've done the same thing, and it seemed okay, but I'm so indoctrinated with the method required in previous versions that I remain skeptical. -- Suzanne S.

Styles in Word 2007
There's nothing wrong with a little skepticism, as long as we all keep trying
to help the people who may not be as comfortable about working with styles as some others of us. Styles are _easy_ and they do the work of formatting your document for you, but you must be consistent in applying them. Modifying a styled paragraph and then updating the style works 99.9999% of the time, just like it's supposed to, whether you're in Word 2000, 2003, or 2007.

Styles in Word 2007
You're right; IF the number alignment and text indents for an auto-numbered
paragraph (as set by the "Define New Multilevel List" tool) do not match the paragraph style indent settings, then the alignment/indents settings of the number itself (as set by the "Define New Multilevel List" tool) _can_ over-ride the paragraph style, especially if a connection between outline levels breaks and you go back into the D.N.M.L. tool to fix it. But changing the paragraph style indents and then updating the style DOES work. I tell my secretaries that after they go into the D.N.M.L. tool and fix something that's broken, then (1) go back to each style in the document and (2) change the formatting back the way you want it and then (3) update the style. After that, the style "sticks" with no problems.

They have to be set in one of the dialogs for numbered lists. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "DeanH" wrote in message ... You need to save the modifications to the styles to the template. When you modify a style in a document, there should be a check box for "Add to Template" or something like that (not sure with 2007), this will save the modification to the template. Or "Open" the template file itself (not just click on it as this will only open a new document based on the template) and do the necessary modifications, save. The next time you open a new document based on this template the changes should be there. Hope this helps DeanH "Mandy" wrote: I've created my own heading and bullet Styles in word 2007, however when I try to 'Modify' a particular style (i.e. bullet style) by changing the indentation in 'Paragraph' it doesn't save my changes when I reopen a new document. Is there step by step instructions I need to follow in order to save these changes. Your help would be appreciated. -- Thanks and regards Mandy |
