How to copy a customized Outline Numbered (in Word) to a diff
Hi Charles,
I tried to do it the "Microsoft" way but not sure if we did it exactly right. Looked at the pages that you sent and they seem to explain how to create them the right way .. but I never did see anything about how to get them from one PC to a different one on those pages. I wanted to go ahead and try moving them over and then see if they'll work. What's the actual physical process of copying them over .. They don't seem to be built into a template since when I add an Outline Numbered list, it shows up in all document types. How do I try to get it over to another PC without having to recreate it?

How to copy a customized Outline Numbered (in Word) to a diff
That is not the "Microsoft way" it is the only way that works with Outline
numbering. Unless you created them that way, exactly, moving them will not work reliably. You move them by moving the templates holding the styles or using the Organizer to copy the styles, copying three times to re-establish links between styles. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!
