Best approach to getting styles into a document
Word 2003
I need a way to make sure a set of custom styles is easily brought into the active document. I have created a template (xyzco-styles.dot) that contains the xyzco styles. Which would be the best approach - to use a macro that copies all styles from xyzco-styles.dot into the active document OR to use a macro that attaches the xyzco-styles.dot to the active document? My tests have shown me that when I attach the template, the styles do not show up in the active doc unless Automatically update document styles was checked. Are there any other implications to this choice? I am tending towards the attach template idea because we may add or remove styles occasionally and updating a macro that specifically copies styles would be overhead we don't want to add. I plan on creating a custom toolbar in an xyzco.dot and that is where the above mentioned macro would reside. This template would live in the MS Office Startup folder so the toolbar is available when Word starts. Am I on track? Thanks! |
