Style/Formatting Issues with Word 2007 and older versions
Is there an easier way to correct style/formatting issues from a
multi-authored document (where some authors are using a different version of Word or a different word processing software altogether) without having to recreate the entire document? I find that if I do not recreate the document when performing a style edit (i.e., select all, paste without formatting in a new document and then go through and clean up the styles) I'll try to make one change and end up with some inexplicable change that I did not ask for; like font style, color, or headings totally removed. Others in my office have similar issues where they cannot save documents or change styles. Some of the documents I work with are several hundred pages long, so having to totally recreate a document each time to rid it of conflicting formatting from other programs can be very time consuming. Any ideas? |

Style/Formatting Issues with Word 2007 and older versions
If each editor could agree on using a specific set of styles, that would
make the editing process a lot easier, of course. Having said that, I still believe that some "fixing" would be required when finishing the document... And although Find and Replace, for example, might be helpful, this would be mainly a manual task. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "TallEditor" wrote in message ...
