Default Styles behaviour in Word 2007

Hi all,

I used to be able to do this in Word 2003 but do not seem able to make it
"stick" in 2007.

I have a specific set of styles that I use in my documents and these are the
only ones that I want shown in the Styles list. So far so good. Sometimes,
however, I need to slightly modify one. When I do this though it creates
another entry in Styles list to reflect the change to the existing style.
Since it's usually just a one-off, I don't want to see this in the list.

There was a way in Word 2003 to stop this happening but I can't find how to
do this in Word 2007. I've tried all permutations available under Manage
Styles to no avail.

Would love some englightenment!

Thanks,

Sharon

In the Styles pane, click Options. In the Style Pane Options dialog, you can
choose which formatting you want shown.

I could have sworn that even unchecking all the options did not disable the
Select All Instances feature provided you left "Keep track of formatting"
checked at Office Button | Word Options | Advanced: Editing options, but I'm
not seeing that at the moment.

Maybe you selected a style that isn't in use?

Normal. The only style in use in the (empty) document. If I check "Paragraph
level formatting" or "Font formatting," Select All Instances is enabled, but
not otherwise.

Default Styles behaviour in Word 2007

I am at a loss for what causes the behaviour.

In some documents that I open, (where the document is of doubtful origin and
who knows who might have done what to it) the behaviour that you mentions
exists and a new style is created for each change that I make to a paragraph
that is formatted with the style.

On the other hand, in a new document created from templates that I myself
have created, new styles are not created by a change to a font or something
similar.

I do know that I have come across documents where the name of the style in
the modify styles pane can run to dozens of words

Default Styles behaviour in Word 2007

Hi Sharon,

Take a look at the following page of Shauna Kelly's website:

http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/stylesms/index.html

I think that it is a Word 2002/2003 thing and according to Shauna, while
they do appear in the "Styles and Formatting Pane", they are NOT styles.

While with some 97-2003 type documents (that were not created in Word 2007)
when edited in Word 2007, I do see the creation of these "non-Styles" when
direct formatting is applied, It does not happen with a new document that
is created in Word 2007.

In those cases where the "non-Styles" are being created, I have not found a
way to stop them from being created.

In Word 2002/2003, you will see these pseudo-styles (which are just
"formatting") if you have "Keep track of formatting" enabled at Tools |
Options | Edit.

In Word 2007, you can choose, on a document-by-document basis, what
formatting you want displayed. If you click Options in the Style pane, you
will note that the Style Pane Options allow you to decide to view
paragraph-level formatting, font formatting, or bullet/numbering formatting,
and that you can choose to enable these options for a single document or for
all documents based on the attached template.

Correct, and I posted to that effect some three hours before your first

I have a specific set of styles that I use in my documents and these
are the
only ones that I want shown in the Styles list. So far so good.
Sometimes,
however, I need to slightly modify one. When I do this though it
creates
another entry in Styles list to reflect the change to the existing
style.
Since it's usually just a one-off, I don't want to see this in the
list.

There was a way in Word 2003 to stop this happening but I can't find
how to
do this in Word 2007. I've tried all permutations available under
Manage
Styles to no avail.

Would love some englightenment!

Thanks,

Sharon

Default Styles behaviour in Word 2007

Correct, and I posted to that effect some three hours before your first
post.

In Word 2002/2003, you will see these pseudo-styles (which are just
"formatting") if you have "Keep track of formatting" enabled at Tools |
Options | Edit.

In Word 2007, you can choose, on a document-by-document basis, what
formatting you want displayed. If you click Options in the Style pane,
you will note that the Style Pane Options allow you to decide to view
paragraph-level formatting, font formatting, or bullet/numbering
formatting, and that you can choose to enable these options for a single
document or for all documents based on the attached template.

Hi Sharon,

Take a look at the following page of Shauna Kelly's website:

http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/stylesms/index.html

I think that it is a Word 2002/2003 thing and according to Shauna, while
they do appear in the "Styles and Formatting Pane", they are NOT styles.

While with some 97-2003 type documents (that were not created in Word
2007) when edited in Word 2007, I do see the creation of these
"non-Styles" when direct formatting is applied, It does not happen with
a new document that is created in Word 2007.

In those cases where the "non-Styles" are being created, I have not
found a way to stop them from being created.

Hi all,

I used to be able to do this in Word 2003 but do not seem able to make
it
"stick" in 2007.

Suzanne, I got your result too, before I added text to the paragraph. Did you
try that?

Maybe you selected a style that isn't in use?

No, I didn't try adding text to the paragraph. Let's see: If I insert an
AutoText entry that has seven paragraphs in Normal style, I now see "Select
All 1 Instance(s)." I guess it counts by ranges rather than paragraphs. Sure
enough, if I change one of the middle paragraphs to Body Text, then it
counts 2 instances.

Thanks! Glad to see it works the way I expected after all!
