Style in document comes out different for another user?
We have a report document that was in Word 2002, then 2003, and now
2007. We have Styles in the document for the information we put in. Every time the report needs to be updated, we open the previous reportand use Find/Replace to change the Info_New style into Info_Old. New information gets formatted with the Info_New style. The doc is then SavedAs a new document with a new date. On my computer (where the styles were created and attached to the document), the Info_new style is flush to the left margin. On the other user's computer, the paragraphs take on an automatic indent, even though the text is formatted as Info_New. Is there an attribute I need to add to the style to keep this auto indent out? The other user may have "Tabs and backspace set left indent checked", but we don't want that for this report. Can a style override that setting? Ed |

Style in document comes out different for another user?
Hi Ed,
We have a report document that was in Word 2002, then 2003, and now 2007. We have Styles in the document for the information we put in. Every time the report needs to be updated, we open the previous reportand use Find/Replace to change the Info_New style into Info_Old. New information gets formatted with the Info_New style. The doc is then SavedAs a new document with a new date. On my computer (where the styles were created and attached to the document), the Info_new style is flush to the left margin. On the other user's computer, the paragraphs take on an automatic indent, even though the text is formatted as Info_New. Is there an attribute I need to add to the style to keep this auto indent out? The other user may have "Tabs and backspace set left indent checked", but we don't want that for this report. Can a style override that setting? I guess the first thing I'd check is: 1. Is "Automatically update styles" activated in the Templates dialog box? (You can display that from the Developer tab.) 2. If it is, to what template is the document attached? Normal? 3. If yes, then it's likely that - the user's Normal.dot has a style that's indented - this style has the same name as the style your Info styles base on (Normal style is a possibility) - so the style is updating the base style defintion from that other template and the indent is cascading through to the Info style If this is the case, then I'd either deactivate this checkbox or make sure the document is attached to a template with the correct style definitions and that this template is available to the user.
