Style Set Limitations in Word 2007?
Word 2007 provides a neat "Style Set" feature that lets you create a custom
set of styles, as well as a bunch of built in style sets. If you point to one of these style sets, your document dynamically changes to the selected style set. So far so good. I'm converting a bunch of company templates over from 2003. Some of these templates use custom colors, depending on the product that will be used (we use three colors--blue for one set of products, yellow for another set of products, and green for still another set of products). The colors are used in document's header text, for the page number, and for 4 sets of custom bullets (for notes, tips, etc.). After setting up a style set for each color type, I discovered it just didn't work. The bullet colors and header text colors do not change in the document, based on the style set selected. QUESTION--does this feature only work for spacing, headings, etc.? Will it not work for bullet colors and header colors? (If so, how?). I've set up these colors in the custom "Color" pallet as well...but there's no way to "associate" these colors with the bullet lists or header text. // Todd Snarr | Technical Publications Supervisor | Applied Materials | Automation Products |

Style Set Limitations in Word 2007?
Make sure that each style (with different color and/or other formatting) is
part of *all* of the style sets involved; otherwise, the formatting won't change as you change style sets. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "snarrski" wrote in message ...
