Retaining style formatting when sharing documents
I have created a number of large documents using styles that I customized
from Word 2007's existing styles. Our office doesn't use SharePoint, so if someone needs to review a file on the network, they just open it. However, if their Normal style is different from mine, when I open the document later I find that I have to re-apply the style formatting to the entire document. For example, if I use outline headings on the original document, when I open it after someone else has opened it, I'll find that the heading's formatting is lost. The style exists in the document, but the numbering is gone, the font and size is different, a bottom border is gone, etc. How can I prevent the style formatting from changing when I pass this document on to others for their review? joe |

Retaining style formatting when sharing documents
Make sure to clear the "Automatically update document styles" in the
Templates and Add-Ins dialog box for the document in question. To open the dialog box in Word 2007, first display the Developer tab (Office button | Word Options, Popular category: "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon"), and then click the Document Template button on the Developer tab. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "joecern56" wrote in message news I have created a number of large documents using styles that I customized from Word 2007's existing styles.
