How to create AND MAINTAIN a new style???
I am sick to death of creating new styles that would save me tons of effort
reformatting all the time, only to have them NOWHERE TO BE FOUND the next time I need them. What happens to a new style when I create it??? What impossibly esoteric and arcane directory does it get saved in??? |

How to create AND MAINTAIN a new style???
It should be saved in your normal.dot or normal.dotm (depending on
version of Word) template, unless the checkboxes about where to save it have been changed, and thereafter it will appear in all new documents based on that template. It's also possible to create new styles that aren't saved to a template but only in the document for which they are created.

Unless you explicitly opted to save the new style to the attached template
(by default this would be Normal.dot or Normal.dotm), the style is saved only in your document and will not be available to new documents. -- Suzanne S.

Open the document and use the Organiser (Alt+F8 Organizer) to copy
style(s) from document to template. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org veronius wrote: I am sick to death of creating new styles that would save me tons of effort reformatting all the time, only to have them NOWHERE TO BE FOUND the next time I need them.

Given the headache of navigating the Organizer, I think it would be a lot
easier to right-click on the style, choose Modify, and then check the box for "Add to template" or the radio button to save the style in the template (can't remember the exact wording) in Word 2007. -- Suzanne S.

I am not sure what you mean by headache, but the OP already has the styles
in documents. This is mearely a means to store them without the need to recreate them. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

Well, provided the Organizer opens with the active document and its attached
template suggested, I suppose it's easy enough. It's when you are trying to copy styles from one template to another that it becomes a pain. But my method also doesn't require recreating them, just checking the box while the Modify dialog is open, then clicking OK. -- Suzanne S.
