Office-Word 2003-SP1 - Can Style be create for existing documents?
Office-Word 2003-SP1
I create long documents of 1,000+ pages. I'd like to learn Styles to control the 'Wild Word.' 1. Can I apply Styles to an existing document? Is there anything I'd need to do first before trying to apply Styles? 2. Can someone give me easy beginning steps to create a Style template for this document? The document has: 1. text paragraphs 2. long lists of bulletted items, using different types of bullets 3. tables made in Frontpage (because they look nicer than Word Tables) 4. Chapter titles and sub-titles |

Office-Word 2003-SP1 - Can Style be create for existing documents?
I cannot imagine creating long documents and making them look professional
without using Styles. You will learn that Word already uses Styles in every document even though many Word users (perhaps the majority??) have no idea of this. Here are some useful references to get started. You probably already know this, of course, but there is a learning curve involved--and be sure to back up your documents while you learn how to improve them with styles. http://shaunakelly.com/word/ Read the chapters on Styles http://daiya.mvps.org/index.htm See Creating Books and Long Documents "Lifesnadir" wrote in message ...

The following was originally posted by fellow MVP, Shauna Kelly whose
website you should take a look at. Quote For information about how to set up the numbering, see: How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Microsoft Word document http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html If you create a template to hold your numbering scheme, you can use that template as the basis for new documents (using File New) and the new documents will then inherit your numbering scheme. To do that, see: Creating a Template - The Basics (Part I) http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...platePart1.htm Creating a Template (Part II) http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word Unquote -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

I was having trouble with both links.
The first is found at http://shaunakelly.com/ - Word is the main page. I have not found the other site but will keep trying. Thank you very much for your reply and help.
