Styles

[Guest]

I am having trouble re-applying styles from my document template.

The document I am working on was created from the template. The styles
(paragraph formatting) are incorrect. I've tried going through Organizer and
copying/replacing the current ones with the ones from the original template.
No luck. I have also tried going through Templates and Add-Ins and attaching
the template. No luck. The shortcut keys I have customized also do not
re-apply the style.

What does work is format painting the style manually from the template,
which is fine for docs only several pages long, but not for docs longer than
that.

FYI: My PC was upgraded from W2K to XP. Then Office was upgraded from 2000
to 2003.

Help...

It sounds to me like your text has direct formatting.

On a copy of your document, try Ctrl-A, Ctrl-Spacebar, Crtr-Q

Hi Charles,

Thank you for your reply. I tried the tip you indicated, but still to no
avail.

The issue appears to lie within Organizer. I created new a W2K3 template
(which I can now format paint from, as well as add in via templates and
add-ins - see the probelm described in my initial post), but Organizer still
re-aligns my headings to a 0" left margin.

Any idea about Organizer not working correctly?

Thx!
Jeff

Numbered headings? See: How to create numbered headings or outline numbering
in your Word document
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numbering/OutlineNumbering.html. (For
bullets see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/bullets/controlbullets.html, the
subject is related.)

Otherwise, when copying Styles using the Organizer it is sometimes necessary
to copy three times. Select the styles you are copying, click on the Copy
button to copy them all, then click on it two more times. When asked if you
want to overwrite existing styles, answer yes.
