Hmmm well they weren't available in a pre-existing document, but when I
clicked on a new document (based on normal.dot obviuosly) both were
available--my new style and a modified, default style. I guess new styles
don't show up in old docs? that's funny but at least for future docs I'll
have this
As noted in this thread, no, the new style isn't retroactive. What you can
do for those documents you want to use your new an/or modified styles in is
create a Quick Style Set. If you look at Change Styles and the Quick Style
Sets you'll get an idea of what I'm referring to if you aren't familiar with
them since this is new to Word 2007. You'll also see the ability to save a
Quick Style Set at the bottom.
The key to creating a Style Set is only those styles that display in the
Styles Gallery will be saved in your Quick Style Set. You can add/remove
styles from the Styles gallery using the Styles pane. After you save your
Quick Style Set then all you have to do is open a document and select your
Quick Style Set and new styles will be added and those that were modified in
the Quick Style Set will be updated.
