Updating styles
In earlier versions of Word, if I altered a paragraph and wanted to keep
this format for the particular style I was using, I could highlight the Style box on the Formatting toolbar and press Enter. This doesn't happen in Word 2003 - it just reverts to the unmodified style. Is there a way round this, please, rather than having to modify everything on the Styles and Formatting box on the right-hand side? TIA |

Updating styles
You may also have to clear the "Keep track of formatting" option if
you want to be able to update the style from the Style box on the Formatting toolbar. (With the "Keep track of formatting" option turned on, you can still click the style name in the task pane and then you'll see the prompt to update.) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.
