My styles disappear in the template
I've moved over to Word 2002 from Word 2000, and am finding that a lot of
things that worked well in 2000 have been "fixed" in 2002 and are basically much less user friendly. Templates, for example. I have a template that I have been using for years, with particular styles. Normally, I import a document into it and apply the styles. Now I find when I import a document into the templates, I can't find the styles to apply. I've tried everything--been to all styles, customized styles, styles in use, available styles, but all I can find are a handful of styles (heading 1, 2, 3 and normal). Does this mean I have to create them every time? Sorry about the rant but it's been a long day. Thanks, Suroor |

My styles disappear in the template
If you are attaching a document to a template, don't forget the "Update
document styles" option (in Tools | Templates and Add-Ins) to actually add the styles of the template to the document. And once you've added the styles, clear the check box again. You may find it easier to create a document from a template, and then use Insert | File to add the contents of an existing document. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "suroora" wrote in message ...
