delete styles from normal.dot
Open Normal.dot for editing, go to Format | Style (you can get there from
the Styles and Formatting task pane by choosing Custom, then clicking Styles... in the Format Settings dialog), select "User-defined styles" view, select the style to be deleted, and click Delete. When you've deleted all the styles you don't want, save Normal.dot. -- Suzanne S.

I ended up using the "organizer" under Tools|Addins and Templates, etc. How to restore the normal.dot to only the original styles that came with install (the default ones) without starting with brand new normal.dot file (as this would lose my icon/toolbar customizations)?

Yes, the Organizer is a better way. I so seldom use it that it didn't occur
to me. Also, I never create custom styles in Normal.dot, as I use only custom templates. -- Suzanne S.

Yes, that's what I sd do, use custom templates. How do I get started with that, so that the styles will be there when I am writing a regular letter? Will I have to open up the customized template instead of Normal.dot or use the organizer to copy from 1 to other every time? |

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...platePart1.htm for
general template information and http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm for specifics on letter templates. Yes, you will need to select your template in the File New dialog, but if you open Word only to create a document (that is, you don't leave it running), you can put a shortcut to that template on your desktop and use it to open Word with a new document based on your custom template. -- Suzanne S.

For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog,
and locations of templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages. http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step instructions. (It also has the following links) Some other pages to look at: Letterhead Tips and Instructions http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial (for simulating different margins on different pages, among other things) Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.htm#Forms and Word for Word Perfect Users http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP environment (or even if you are not).

For the both of you Suzanne & Charles: What I found out is that custom styles can be available in a document one creates or in the normal.dot (or other template) if one adds it to the template. My problem is that I am using custom styles to create an Outlook 2002 signature in html. Thus if I DON'T add it to normal.dot, every time I create an email, the styles are the ones included in normal.dot only by default, which does not seem to contain the custom style I created. OR at the minimum, there seems to be a conflict between some styles due to names of styles as my customized "hyperlink" style does not take in OL signature once I create a new message if I don't add it to normal.dot (with a different name than "hyperlink".) [Maybe that's where I went wrong....] Thus, to use custom styles in OL signatures, it LOOKS to me at least, that I HAVE to add the custom style to normal.dot as that is what OL uses when it creates a "New Message". Can you confirm? I really don't like adding all kinds of styles to normal.dot or making lots of changes to it as I might screw it up, etc. I'd much rather create styles in a template called custom.dot, for example; but..... Looking forward to your comments. [I might post this in the OL NG as well....] |

Since I don't use Outlook for mail (and wouldn't use Word as the email
editor even if I did), I'll bow out at this point. -- Suzanne S.

I hear OL2007 part of Office 2007 makes use of Word as html editor by default and hard coded.... In any event, I've never seen something as complicated as handling styles in Word.... |
