Word 2003/2007: Saving Styles Universally?
I was trying to help someone out with this. We know how to create styles and
how to save them to our template so that all of our new documents have the custom styles available, but they're always gone whenever we open up someone else's word documents. Is modifying one of the built-in styles the only way to have a style available to you even when opening Word documents from other people or is this simply not possible at all? |

Word 2003/2007: Saving Styles Universally?
In Word, there is no such thing as "global" styles, no.
You can use the Organizer dialog box to copy the style(s) to the desired document or template. Sometimes you can make use of the "Automatically update document styles" option in the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box, but note that this option updates *all* styles in the document to match those of the attached template. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Cyberphonics" wrote in message ...
