2003 Style Sheets in 2007?
I received a new computer from work, which has Office 2K7 on it.
I copied Normal.dot off my backup disc onto this machine, and renamed Normal.dotm to Normal.dotmold. My Macros and keyboard shortcuts came over fine. My "Normal" style is fine. But I had a whole whole bunch of other styles, along with keyboard shortcuts for those styles, that seem to have disappeared! I thought I'd try the Organizer and move the styles over from old documents, but that did not work either. I have been fine-tuning Normal.dot since I gave up MacWrite in 1994... But this, this, this... I don't know! I am loving Office 2007 otherwise! Please offer advice guidance and compliments! |

2003 Style Sheets in 2007?
You cannot create a normal template for Word 2007 by renaming normal.dot
from Word 2003. The normal template can only be created by Word and it will do that if normal.dotm is not present. You can then either use the Organizer (ALT+F8 Organizer) to copy macros and styles to the new template, or you could use normal.dot as an add-in to provide its macros and autotext entries (note autotext is rather different from Word 2003) but not the styles. I would rename the template then to avoid confusion. Document templates will work more or less as they did in Word 2003, though with some differences in macro coding may be apparent e.g. the aforementioned autotext. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "RJB" wrote in message news I received a new computer from work, which has Office 2K7 on it.
