Copying Styles
Hi
I have had a quick read through a few copying styles threads but they don't seem to answer my question. I have many templates, all used for different things. I have about 20 styles that need to be available in a lot of them. I have set the styles in one template and simply want to copy them to the other temps. I have used tools - templates and add-ins, organiser. this does not work, I have tried copying them 3 times (previous thread recommendation) and have copied them across in order of cascade e.g. normal, then body, then, my heading 1 etc. but this hasn't worked either. Its driving me potty I don't want to have to start from scratch for each template. Many thanks for your time Kerry |

If you haven't already created all the templates, then the easiest way to
copy styles from one template to another is to base Template B on Template A. That is, open Template A and Save As under the name for Template B. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne
The templates are already created. They are quite different too, some are for reports, some for letters, so I cant use your suggestion. Thanx anyway. Kerry "Suzanne S.

Another fairly reliable way to get styles into a document/template is to
paste in some text formatted with the style. -- Suzanne S.
