How can I apply a template to multiple documents?
Hi...I have a file library that consists of 100's of Word, Excel & Power point documents.
I was hoping to find a method to apply a template (including headers/footers, page layout, color scheme etc) to multiple documents as quickly as possible. I am currently cutting and pasting or selecting Tools Templates & Add ins - where i need to put a check mark next to a template i created. Only the font seems to be applied when I do this. Any thoughts? Third party programs? thanks -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

I'm surprised the font is applied. It shouldn't be. You are loading these
templates as Add-Ins, which makes their macros and other interface customizations available. For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations of templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. Probably the simplest method is to create new documents, based on the new templates, and copy the contents from the old documents into the new ones. Then close the old documents and save the new ones over the top of the old ones using the same name (once you are sure that the new ones are what you want). -- 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.
