Copying styles from one doc to another
Hi there
I am trying to copy some content from one document to another (Word 2003). I thought the copied content would assume the heading styles in the new document but it seems to retain the old styles from the first document. Carolyn |

Copying styles from one doc to another
Hi Carolyn,
That's standard behaviour. If you want the styles from the source document to apply in the target document also, the best way of achieving this is to migrate them via the Organizer - see Tools|Templates and Add-Ins|Organizer.

Copying styles from one doc to another
Hi Carolyn,
I am trying to copy some content from one document to another (Word 2003). I thought the copied content would assume the heading styles in the new document That's what is supposed to happen, yes. but it seems to retain the old styles from the first document. Most likely, manual formatting had been applied in the document you copy from. You could use Ctrl+Spacebar (ResetFont) and Ctrl+Q (ResetPara) in the document you copy from, to get rid of that manual formatting. Regards, Klaus |

I tried these instructions but it still doesn't seem to work. What I've done is modified the Heading 1 style (and others). If I have that style in DocumentA then copy content from DocumentB (which also has a modified Heading 1 style but it's different than the style in DocumentA) which style would you expect all Heading 1 content to be? It appears to be the style from Document B but has also lost the numbering style on the way through. |

I would expect it to be the DocA style. See if using the Paste Options
button to Match Destination Styles fits your needs. Information he http://shaunakelly.com/word/styles/H...ionsWorks.html kaz wrote: Hi there. Thanks for the help so far.
