Apply styles without destroying other styles
I have a 500pg document that I've scanned in to digitize it. Did that and
ran OCR on it. Then mannually went through it and added styles to all the headers, sub-headers and numbered lists. So far so good. Now when I take a closer look at it, one of the things I forgot to do in the beginning was a Select All and Format to Normal. When I look at the document through the Styles I see that it's got all sorts of formatting throughout it and most of the text is formatted to Normal-Web After blah blah blah. There also seems to be a plethera of outline numbered styles being applied here and there including bold this and that, italics that and that, centered heading 4's and left justified header 4's, and whatnot... What I'd like to do is to remove all these weird styles. The main one is the Normal-Web. I'd like to apply the Normal Style to the text but when I try switching the style by highlighting everything that's formatted that way all my outlined lists, bullets, and numbers all go away! My question is this: How can I format the normal text throughout the document to Normal Style while maintaining formatting for the Headers and bulleted and outline numbered lists? Any ideas? Thanks a million in advance! -Dax -- I''d give my left hand to be ambidextrous! |

If the bulleted and numbered lists lose their numbering when you replace
Normal (Web) with Normal, then the bullets and numbering have been applied as direct formatting, so you're better off applying styles that specifically include numbering/bullets (List Number, List Bullet, etc.). Then you can select the rest of the Normal (Web) and change it to Normal (though actually my preference is to use Body Text). -- Suzanne S.
