Make it easy to create a customize style or theme set in Word 07
We have used Word since it's first Windows version and routinely use styles
and other custom elements to achieve our desired company look and feel. While the new interface in 07 makes it easy to select various MS designed preset styles, it seems to make the process of creating one company customized style that would be reflected in one Normal.dot for all to use maddeningly difficult to achieve. For example, determining how to make a change and save it to the Normal.dot is clear in some places and very difficult to figure out how to do elsewhere. I believe it would help if there were more in this upgrade that helps the experienced user get back to the high level formatting ability they had before, instead of optimizing entirely for newbies alone. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Make it easy to create a customize style or theme set in Word 07
The normal template for Word 2007 is normal.dotm. You cannot share the
Normal.dot(m) file among multiple users in Word http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811468 so a better option would be to create a document template (or templates) containing the styles you need for your company documents and train the users to use the company document templates. If you click Alt + Ctrl + Shift + S (or the arrow bottom right of the styles group on the home tab), the styles dialog will open from which you can modify or create styles. If you want the new/modified styles to be available for all documents, check the box on the style modify/create dialog "New documents based on this template" and save the template when prompted. Note also that you can still use your Word 2003 document templates in Word 2007 with few exceptions. Please note also that Word 2007 is Word 12 and not Word 07. Word 07 is Word 95. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jcam wrote: We have used Word since it's first Windows version and routinely use styles and other custom elements to achieve our desired company look and feel.
