How to ask a modified style be affected on current document
Hello
I have a long document created in HTML, opened in MS Word 2003 and saved as a doc It seems it is using "Normal", "Normal (Web)" and "Heading 3" styles. I want to set the font and paragraph properties of the above styles and then the modified styles take effect in current (long) document. What is the best practice? Thanks in advance. Hamed P.S. Sorry to send to multiple groups. I don't know to what topic does this problem is related. |

How to ask a modified style be affected on current document
If I understand you correctly, open the document and modify the styles
therein. If you want to create all future new documents based on the template with the same styles, check the 'add to template' box in the format style dialog. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org news.microsoft.com wrote: Hello I have a long document created in HTML, opened in MS Word 2003 and saved as a doc It seems it is using "Normal", "Normal (Web)" and "Heading 3" styles.

How to ask a modified style be affected on current document
I modify it but the new settings is not taken in effect for the text that is
in the document now. I want it to be updated too. |

How to ask a modified style be affected on current document
It sounds that you have some manual formatting applied to the text in your
document for these specific styles. Modifying the styles sometimes does not take affect because of the manual formatting. You can use the Ctrl+Spacebar, which removes any manual formatting and returns all the text selected to its base style settings, which now would be the newly modified styles. For speed you can select the whole document (Ctrl+A), then Ctrl+Spacebar, but this will remove all manual formatting for all styles which you may not want. Depending on the version of Word you are using, you could use the Find, Select All, searching for the style, then Ctrl+Spacebar. Or use the Replace, Find style, Replace with the same style. This should re-instate the new style. Hope this helps DeanH "Hamed" wrote: I modify it but the new settings is not taken in effect for the text that is in the document now.

Thanks DeanH
It seems your opinion is true. This resets all formatting and then any new formatting takes effect. RegARDS Hamed "DeanH" wrote in message ...
