styles?
I think I'm not understanding Word 2007 styles very well.
Coming from a Word 2003/XP background, I thought that if I want a style to be defined to/available in ALL documents by all users, I should save it either in the Normal or custom "startup" template. In Word 2007 (and Windows 7 OS, if that makes a difference), I've been trying to use the same logic, with very irregular and undesirable results. I've tried saving templates that I want all users to see/use in either the Normal template, or the custom "startup" template, or both simultaneously. In some cases, the styles are available in New documents (as expected), but in most cases, they are not available (via either the Quick Styles or the Styles Pane, on ANY tab) in existing documents that were created prior to the new startup or Normal templates -- even though, when looking at the Organizer (MacroOrganizerStyle), the styles ARE listed under both Normal and startup templates. So, my question is -- where do I need to place the new custom styles in order for them to be available (visible and usable) with ALL docs? The only choices I'm aware of are a) Normal template, b) startup template, c) individual document template -- but I've tried these, so I'm guessing that I'm missing something! Thanks in advance. |
