Doc Not Updating when Attached to Templates and Add-Ins
In Word 2003 I am unable to update the styles in a doc with the Tools /
Templates and Add-Ins feature. I do tick the "Automatically update document styles" box. I know I can update the styles through the Organizer. The problem is that I have been asked to test a macro written by a visual basic coder. The code uses the Templates and Add-Ins feature to update the styles. When I run the macro the styles are not updated. I thought at first it was an issue with the macro; however, use of the Templates and Add-Ins feature does not work manually either. Other users within our group do not have this issue as the styles do load. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue? |

Doc Not Updating when Attached to Templates and Add-Ins
When Word does not behave as expected, the usual causes are a) corrupted
Normal.dot, b) corrupted registry entries, and c) misbehaving add-in. To test to see if these are the likely causes, try starting Word with the /a switch or in safe mode, and see if it then updates styles as expected. (Start - Run - winword.exe /a, or hold down Ctrl as Word is starting, and then click Yes to starting in safe mode.) Note /a and safe mode are not the same thing. However, both provide a way to bypass normal.dot, the usual registry grimlin (the Data key), and add-ins. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Liz" wrote in message ...
