Copying heading styles to template
Hi,
I have a number of heading styles that I wish to copy to a template so that whenever I open a Word document it uses this format for my headings. I have gone to Tools Template and Add-Ins Organizer Styles and copied the relevnat headings to my normal.dot file. When I then open a word docuement the correct heading style is applied APART from the colou r whcih remains black rather than the blue colour in my heading style. Does anyone know why this may be? Any help gtarefully appreciated! cheers, |

Copying heading styles to template
The heading color might be inherited by a "Based on" style (look in the
Modify Style dialog) which you did not copy to your template. For more on inheritance, see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...esCascade.html. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "kippers" wrote in message ...

Thanks Stefan,
Yes, the style is based on the 'Normal' style, which is black font. The style of 'Heading 3' should change the colour to blue though. I have tried copying across the Normal style just to check but I still have the same problem.. I have noticed, however, that when I select the text and apply the style to it in the new document, the colour changes to the correct colour i.e. blue- it just needs me to do it manually for some reason. Is there any reason that you know of as to why the colour wouldn't change automatcially?

Copying heading styles to template
Perhaps direct formatting was applied to text in the target document? As
you've seen, reapplying the style would take care of that. Another method is to select the text and press Ctrl+SpaceBar (which explicitly clears direct font formatting). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "kippers" wrote in message ...
