Style locator question (Word 2007)
All of my documents are based on customized templates/styles. I need to
globablly replace certain styles with other styles. Does anyone know what happened to the "Select all number of instances of style name" option when clicking to modify a style? |

Faith -
It's still there. If the style is in your Style Gallery, then Right Click on the style and choose "Select All..." If the style is not in your Style Gallery, then you can show the Styles Task Pane by clicking the dialog launcher in the lower right corner of the Styles Group. If necessary click the Options link to show the styles "In Use" and then you can either right click and select, or float your mouse over the style to get to the "Select all..." -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Style locator question (Word 2007)
You need to be keeping track of formatting to use the Select All x
instances. In Word Options in the Advanced section near the top, select "Keep track of formatting". Once you do this then the option will be enabled.

Style locator question (Word 2007)
I have found that the problem with enabling the "Keep track of formatting"
option is that it creates a new style for EVERY change you make within a styled piece of text, for example, bolding a word. I don't want a thousand extra styles in my template. Surely there's another way to handle this .... "Beth Melton" wrote: You need to be keeping track of formatting to use the Select All x instances.

It's not creating a style, the option will show you styles along with the
direct formatting. IOW, what is actually in your document/template. :-) So for example if you bold a word in a paragraph that uses the Body Text style the format is actually Body Text + Bold. You can tell the difference if you look to the right of the style name those that appear as a result of direct formatting won't have the style indicator (¶, a, or ¶a, ) next to it. Ideally, the direct formatting should be replaced with a style, for example instead of Bold use the Strong character style, but if you click the Options link at the bottom of the task pane you'll see a section for "Select formatting to show as styles". If you turn off the options listed then you'll only see Styles in the task pane. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.
