updating a style
Ok ... I've forgotten how to update a style when I make changes to it in the
body of the document. It used to be that you'd make the change, then click in the style box and click enter ... it would then ask if you wanted to apply the changes to the style. How do I do this in 2003. Thanks. |

updating a style
Clear "Keep track of formatting" and check "Prompt to update style"
on the Edit tab of ToolsOptions. Note that if you leave the former option checked (which it is by default), you will be prompted to update the style when you click its name in the Styles and Formatting task pane (but you won't see the prompt when pressing Enter in the Style box on the toolbar). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DianaH" wrote in message ...

updating a style
Thanks Stefan,
I don't like leaving the "Keep track of formatting" on because I end up with a bazillion styles every time I edit something. I like to keep it clean, however, I want to be able to periodically edit the style on the fly and what you suggest should work. I'll give it a try. Thanks a bunch.
