Using Word 2007 (but in compatibility mode *.doc) I have a large
document which is a Master Document and several Sub Documents.

While editing the Master Document I have changed some of the styles
for Heading 1, Heading 2 etc and all was well until I opened one of
the sub-documents separately and they all the formatting was wrong due
to the style changes.

I guess I have changed the style associated with the master document
and sub documents when opened within, but not the Normal template
which defaults when the sub-documents are opened individually.

Is there an easy way to copy the styles from the Master Document into
the sub-documents?

Thanks

You can use the macros organizer (Developer tab - which you will need to add
if you have not already done so) Macros button Organizer to copy styles.

Do note that Master documents are notoriously unstable and working in
compatibility mode is not going to help -

I would recommend you to combine these documents before you lose them.
