Styles 97 to 2003
Hi
I have a number of templates created in word 97. I am now using word 2003. for other reasons I have created the templates again from scratch in word 2003. If I open an old document based on the w97 temps and update the styles using attach & update all works well. However, i need to refer to a lot of my old documents, copying paragraphs from them. When pasted into my word 2003 docs some of the new style formats update such as the bullet or numbering symbol and some font options such as colour. However, the indents are all over the place. I cannot find a way to sort this problem. I have to set the indents and missing styles formatting manually each time i paste. Can anyone shed any light on this matter? It would save me a lot of time if anyone knows of a solution. Is this a recognised bug? The Word 2003 paste options of destination formatting etc. does not work either. Many thanks Kerry. |

Styles 97 to 2003
I suspect that it isn't Word 97 to Word 2003 but one computer to another
(using bullets or numbering that were not set up to survive this). Crucial portions of your formatting are in list templates (which are very different from templates). See: How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in your Word document http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. (For bullets see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bull...olbullets.html, the subject is related.) This is based on ... Word's Numbering Explained http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Number...gExplained.htm Additional information you may find useful or need is at: How to Create a Template, Part II http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
