I train Word 2003 and 2007 so I'm very fluent with the features. Now that we
have migrated to Word 2007, I had a user contact me this morning with a
question that I could not answer. This user created a new quickstyle in Word
2007. The user also set it to be there when you open new documents (so it
was saved to the template). And it worked as expected, showing up on new
documents when you open one.
Here's the rub - the user decided he wanted to remove this style from the
default template so it didn't show up in new documents. I did everything
under the sun and couldn't do this. Yes, I went into the manage styles
dialog box and deleted it from there and I chose "Apply to New documents".
And yet, every time I do this, it still shows up.
The only way for me to get rid of it, was to delete the normal.dotx file and
let it rebuild it. Obviously, though, that is not a very workable solution.
It's like when you add a quickstyle it reaches out and puts into the
normal.dotx file (or whatever the particular template is). And yet, when you
try to take it out, it is a no go.
I would invite any of you to try this and see if you get the same results.
Any help any of you can provide, I would be most thankful for.
I also want to say thank you to all of the MVP's on this board, you have
saved my bacon too many times to count. I hope you are getting lots of money
from MS.
Thank you,
