Optional Next Style
Styles can define the style for the next paragraph. Is there anyway to only
use the next style if something is entered? I'd like to create a pair of styles for Q & A. The Q style would format the line for a question and would define the next style as an A style. The A style would format the line as an answer and define the next style as a question. If nothing is entered on the Q style line, then the next line should be Normal. John... Visio MVP |

You can't do this automatically - but you can assign the 'normal' style to a
keyboard shortcut (ALT+n - may even be the default setting) to reset the next line. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org John Marshall, MVP wrote: Styles can define the style for the next paragraph.

I was looking for an effect similar to the bullet and number lists. If you
enter something, the next line is the next line is another bullet. Enter nothing and it reverts to Normal. -- John... Visio MVP "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

It's not going to work because the next style will always be the alternate -
not the same with bullet or number. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org John Marshall, MVP wrote: I was looking for an effect similar to the bullet and number lists.

John:
How about using AutoCorrect to replace Q: or A: with a styled para. If you don't enter Q: or A: you stay in a Normal para. Bear -- Windows XP, Word 2000 |

That is a posibility, but what I have is two styles so that the Question is
a different clour than the answer and the Q or A is the prefix for a bullet list. John... Visio MVP "Bear" (nospam) wrote in message ... John: How about using AutoCorrect to replace Q: or A: with a styled para. If you don't enter Q: or A: you stay in a Normal para. Bear -- Windows XP, Word 2000 |
