Loading a global template
I am trying to combine styles for multiple templates in a document. I load
the templates as global templates (Tools--Templates and Add-ins). However, when I do that, the styles/formatting for those templates don't appear. In this case, I am not using Normal.dot as my attached template, and the attached template has very few styles defined; I was planning on simply using the styles from the global template. |

Global templates can't supply styles or formatting, only toolbars, AutoText,
macros, etc. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...latesStore.htm -- Suzanne S.

Global templates don't work this way without macros. See
http://addbalance.com/word/stylesheet.htm. Otherwise, attach your templates and update the styles (but they may work at cross-purposes) or use the Organizer to copy the styles from your templates to your documents. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
