Can I import existing styles into a document?
I am working on a document to which I would like to apply just heading styles
that I've created and use regularly, but leave everything else as it is. The document already has a heading 1 that is different from mine. Does this mean I have to modify the document's style or can I import my own and replace the document style? My colleague is also in the same situation, except that she has to use my styles. It would be useful if we didn't have to create the style over and over again, since we will be working on several documents. We are using Word 2003. |

Documents created from a template that contains your styles will also
contain your styles. However you can use the organizer (Alt+F8 Organizer) to copy the styles from the document/template containing them to the document/template requiring them - overwriting existing styles of the same names.. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "suroora" wrote in message ...

Can I import existing styles into a document?
When you use the Organizer, the file you want to copy _from_ appears
in the right window and the file you're working on appears in the left window. You need to click "Close" under the right window, then click the same button that now says "Open," change the file type to look for from "template" to "document," and browse to the file whose styles you want to copy. Its styles then appear in the right window. Select the files you want to copy (since you're only doing Headings, you can click the first one and shift-click the last one), click "Copy" in the middle column, and when it asks you if you want to replace the styles with the same name, click "Yes to all."
