template insanity
How do I make a document use the styles in a template that is not
"Normal.dot" or the current document? I need to reformat a series of existing documents using a single stable template for styles. I've got a lot of experience with DTP, so I know what a style is in theory. But Word's implementation drives me crazy. What I've been doing: I save a document as a template, .dot, file. Then I open one of my text documents. I use the Style Organizer and "Close" the current document, then Open the dot file I want. Then close the Organizer. But the next time I open the Organizer, the current document is listed, and Normal, but my template is no where to be seen! So I'm doing something wrong -- what? Is there anywhwhere else besides the Organizer that displays what the current template is? |
