Applying a new template to an existing document
Hi All,
I have a large document that was created with the companies OLD template. I now want to "update" to the new company template (different fonts, spacings, logo etc). If I simply cut and paste the contents of the document the tables, images etc are not aligned correctly etc. Does anyone know if I can simply apply a template to a document, as you can in PowerPoint? TIA Peter |

Applying a new template to an existing document
This isn't how templates work in Word. Sorry.
Creating a new document based on the new template is the only straight-forward way to get new content (margins, spacings, headers/footers, logos, text) from that template. If you use styles to format your text, and the same styles appear in both, pasting the old text into a new document based on the new template will reformat the text to the new styles. Direct formatting, as you've observed, complicates things. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
