Default Is it possible to share a style change across an organisation

I would like use a consistent style for the Word documents in our
organistaion. The style we want to use is 'Formal' but with the colour of
underlining changed from brown to blue. How can I create or edit or use a
corporate style across our organisation so that everyone has access to it
without having to make the colour change manually each time?

You need to set up the styles in a template and then distribute that to your
users with instructions that they use that template as the basis of the
documents that they are to create.

See the article "Creating a Template €“ The Basics (Part I)€ at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...platePart1.htm

and "Creating a Template (Part II)€ at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm

and the article "Distributing macros to other users€ at:
