Styles in Word 2007
I have templates created in word 2003 but when loaded into word 2007 my
styles do not seem to be there. Do I have to create new styles and if so how is this done in word 2007, or is there a way to copy the styles from my 2003 documents? Thanks in advance for any advice Double R |

Styles in Word 2007
Unless you specifically saved your styles with the templates, they are saved
to normal.dot by default. Do you still have access to your old PC? If so, you can use Organizer to copy the styles from normal.dot to a template. Then being the template to your new computer and again use Organizer to copy them to your templates. Don't be tempted to bring across your old normal,dot to use in Word2007 because it won't work very well. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Double R" wrote in message ...

Styles in Word 2007
Thanks Terry I have done as you suggested but the problem now is that
although I have managed to copy the styles across the associated autotext entries for each style is missing e.g. on a regular template I use there is a heading for "Companies" in word 2003 I had a style called "companies" and a list of company names as autotext entries, and if there was a new Company then I just highlighted the name and clicked "New" then that company name was in the list. I hope I am explaining this ok! Cheers Double R "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Unless you specifically saved your styles with the templates, they are saved to normal.dot by default.

Styles in Word 2007
Hi Terry,
Roy is correct -- the Organizer in 2007 has been stripped down to only Styles and Macro Project Items. On the Insert ribbon, click the Quick Parts button and select Building Blocks Organizer to see the list of building blocks, which include AutoText entries. But this Organizer doesn't have any means of copying entries from another template. You'll have to use Word 2003 to insert the old AutoText entries into a document, and apply the intended style to each one. Then open that document in Word 2007 and use Alt+F3 to save it as an AutoText entry in whatever template you want them (typically either Building Blocks.dotx or Normal.dotm). To make the first part of that job easier, download the AutoTextDumper template from http://jay-freedman.info. I haven't yet written a version of the companion template AutoTextLoader that would work in Word 2007, so you're stuck doing the second part of the job manually. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Transferring key customizations to Word 2007
Terry says:
Don't be tempted to bring across your old normal,dot to use in Word2007 because it won't work very well. If this is the case, how do we transfer our customized key assignments in Normal.dot to Word 2007? Yes, using Organizer we can transfer the macros from the old Word version's Normal to 2007's Normal, but not key assignments. There's the Shortcut Organizer, but that works one key combo at a time, not good if you have hundreds of key assignments. Larry |

Styles in Word 2007
Hi Jay,
Word does have the ability though to find and use Quick parts in templates other than Building Blocks.dotx. If, for example, you place a .dot template that has Autotext quick parts in them in one of the Office 2007 \Document Parts\ folders that hold building block templates, then start Word, the Autotext entries should appear in and be avaialable in the Building Blocks organizer (Insert=QuickParts) ================== "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

Styles in Word 2007
Hi Bob,
Thanks for that pointer. I wasn't aware of it before -- but maybe I should have realized it, since I noticed Word's willingness to load *anything* you put in those folders, even when you change its extension. That is, you can't fool Word into not loading an old or damaged Building Blocks.dotx file by renaming it to something like Building Blocks.dontloadthis. You have to move the file out of the folder to keep it out of Word's reach! It's like a billy goat chewing tin cans -- everything goes. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Hi Shauna,
Yes, it's used as a 'library' for limited purpose (one of the fun things you can do when it's just a zipped XML file g) (or even an 'ol binary one g). It can be used for a short term project, for distributing 'company standard' items or even shared family ones and by choosing their location (by user application data or programs folder, etc) and/or they can be language specific. In another post Cindy posted a link to the Word team blog and Zeyad's article on this http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...ng-blocks.aspx One of the most confusing parts seems to be the use of multiple 'labels' applied to or within the feature - Quick Parts - Building Blocks - Document Parts They seem to be a bit more cross app consistent than - Themes - WordArt types - Graphic handling ============= "Shauna Kelly" wrote in message ...

Hi Shauna, Yes, it's used as a 'library' for limited purpose (one of the fun things you can do when it's just a zipped XML file g) (or even an 'ol binary one g). It can be used for a short term project, for distributing 'company standard' items or even shared family ones and by choosing their location (by user application data or programs folder, etc) and/or they can be language specific. In another post Cindy posted a link to the Word team blog and Zeyad's article on this http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_offi...ng-blocks.aspx One of the most confusing parts seems to be the use of multiple 'labels' applied to or within the feature - Quick Parts - Building Blocks - Document Parts They seem to be a bit more cross app consistent than - Themes - WordArt types - Graphic handling ============= "Shauna Kelly" wrote in message ... Hi Bob So a template like this acts like a global template or add-in, but only with respect to Quick Parts?

Transferring key customizations to Word 2007
So I would have to re-assign my hundreds of key assignments to their
respective macros and commands one at a time? Larry "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Basically you can't transfer key assignments. This has been a bugbear in all versions of Word. Terry "Larry" wrote in message ... Terry says: Don't be tempted to bring across your old normal,dot to use in Word2007 because it won't work very well. If this is the case, how do we transfer our customized key assignments in Normal.dot to Word 2007? Yes, using Organizer we can transfer the macros from the old Word version's Normal to 2007's Normal, but not key assignments. There's the Shortcut Organizer, but that works one key combo at a time, not good if you have hundreds of key assignments. Larry |
