style pane shows unwanted styles when word re-opened
1)Having come back from the Christmas break, when I open documents, close
them, and then reopen them, the style pane shows styles that hare marked 'hide until used' in the style manager. If I remark them as 'hide until used they behave while the document is open, but not once it is saved and reopened. 2)Also when resaving a word 2003 doc as 2007 I get new styles appearing called 'heading 1 Char' heading 2 char' etc -which I find very concerning as char was an old glitch associated with tables in word 2003 and I was hoping not to strike it again in 2007 Michelle |

style pane shows unwanted styles when word re-opened
Hi I checked I had done all the things you suggest by redoing them, and it
was all fine until I opened a document that was W2000, (originally w2007 and then saved as 2003 to send to others). Somehow this one recorrupted by normal template. When I open the style manager the 'hide until used' are all in bold, and I have to reselect tehm before they are hidden. I have resaved the file that seems to be causing the problem, cleaned it up (individually deleting 'char styles, and reselcting styles to hide), and cleaned up my normal template again, doublechecking the 'all documents' is chosen for everything I do. So far so good. I have restarted and still good, and I'll keep away from the file with teh bugs in it. I'd be really pleased to hear if anyone else recreates this bug, and if it gets fixed I'd like to know, cos our full workplace isn''t going to W2007 for another 6 months and it will be a very big nuisance if i can't easily keep style settings when saving files between versions. thanks Michelle So seems some of the stlye manager choices get lost when saving w2007 to w2000 and back again.

They use Word 2000, 'read only'.
I do sometimes amend in this version before I bring it back into W2007. "Stefan Blom" wrote: Which version of Word is being used by the "other" users?

So you are the only one who can edit the settings for styles?
What about "Automatically update document styles," in the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box? Is that option being used?

style pane shows unwanted styles when word re-opened
Hi,
I have worked out how to reproduce the problem: If i have a document in word 2007 I can save it as word 97-2003, and back to word 2007 as many times as I like with no problem. However, if the document is opened in word 2000, and then opened in word 2007, it will show all styles in the styles pane, and all the 'hide until used' ;are shown in bold in the manager and have to be retagged as 'hide until used' before they go away again. Stefan -Where do I find the templates and add-ins dialog box ( I tried looking in help, but couldn't find a reference to it). The normal template has been behaving since it was last cleaned up.

not support setting any display/hide options for styles. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "MicehlleLeo NZ" wrote in message ... thanks, have found templates and add-ins dialogue box, and I can now answer, no, automatically update document styles is not ticked.

Me too.
Is there a macro or something I can use ( not being very familiar with such things) that I can use to quickly update the files when I import them from word 2000 to word 2007?

You could try the following macro, posted by Lene Fredborg:
Sub ShowHideStyles() Dim oSty As Style Dim oArray As Variant Dim n As Long 'Start deselecting all - NOTE Visibility = true means NOT CHECKED! With ActiveDocument For Each oSty In .Styles .Styles(oSty.NameLocal).Visibility = True Next oSty 'Display the desired styles - include the names in oArray oArray = Array(wdStyleHeading1, wdStyleHeading2, wdStyleBodyText) For n = LBound(oArray) To UBound(oArray) .Styles(oArray(n)).Visibility = False Next n End With End Sub To determine which styles should be *displayed*, add to the list in oArray of the code above. For example, to display My Custom Style, Heading 1, Heading 2, Body Text you should change the line before "For n" like this: oArray = Array("My Custom Style", "Heading 1", "Heading 2", "Body Text") But note that a macro might very well have the same limitations as the user interface, given that so many different versions are involved. :-( -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "MicehlleLeo NZ" wrote in message ...
