Word 2007 - Modify Style - 'New documents based on this template'
I am creating some templates in Word 2007 which use customised Heading 1 and
Heading 2 styles. I find that new documents created using the templates lose some of the formatting set for these styles in the original template. I have tried to set the option 'New documents based on this template' in the Modify Style dialogue box but it always reverts back to 'Only in this document'. Any ideas? |

Were you trying to change the outline levels of Heading 1 and Heading 2? Even
though it appears as if you can change these levels when editing the styles in the template, you cannot. They are hard-coded.

Many thanks for this. Yes, it was Heading 1 and Heading 2 I was trying to
customise. I will think of a different approach for the template. "Aeneas" wrote: Were you trying to change the outline levels of Heading 1 and Heading 2?

And note that if you were trying to change the outline level for TOC
purposes, you can map any outline level to any TOC level in the TOC Options (or whatever the 2007 equivalent is). If it's for outline numbering, you can demote the headings to lower outline levels for that, too, for example using Title for Level 1, Heading 1 for Level 2, etc., but it is usually more efficient to just use the heading levels as they're intended. -- Suzanne S.
