Applying template after typing document
I have a couple of different templates for new documents. One of them has my
letter head in. Quite often, I just start typing in the default template, having forgotten to open a new document with the letterhead template. If I then save my work I can then open a new letterheaded document and import it. However, it would be really really nice just to apply the letterheaded template to the current document say halfway through typing it. Is there any way to do that please? (I use Word 97, by the way.) |

Applying template after typing document
You can certainly attach a different template to a document, via Tools
| Templates and Add-Ins, but this won't change the layout of the document; it'll just add the paragraph and character styles (assuming that you check the "Automatically update document styles" option). Therefore, doing what you are already doing--importing into a letterhead document--is the easiest way to handle this. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "GB" wrote in message ...

(Well, on a scale of 0-10 for bad news, it's not that bad, maybe 0.1 or 0.2) |

And, yes, it is hardly bad news to find out that you can't do B, then A, when you know that you *can* do A, then B... :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP |
