Template problems ...

[Spreadsheet Solutions]

Dear all;

I wrote a lengthy doc with several specific styles.
This docs looks fine on my pc.

Now when I send the doc to someone else, he or she can't read it properly.
That is, all the styles I created are not "transferred" into the same doc on
his pc.

What can or must I do to solve this ?

Thanks in advance.

Your documents should never have the option under Tools > Templates and
Add-Ins checked to automatically update styles from the template.

That's probably because the person receiving your
document doesn't have the fonts you used, so it is
substituting for it.

One thing you can try is to "embed" the fonts in your
documents. It'll make the documents larger, especially
if you used many different fonts, but it should work.

Accordign to Word's Help:
1.. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click
the Save tab.
2.. Select the Embed TrueType fonts check box.
3.. Save the document.
Note Embedded TrueType fonts can increase the size of
your document. You may be able to reduce the file size
of your document by selecting the Embed characters in
use only check box. This option embeds only the font
styles used in your document. Also, if you used 32 or
fewer characters of a font — for example, a few symbols
or a headline — Word embeds only those characters. Note
that this option is most useful for documents that
other users plan to view or print only, because the
unembedded font characters and styles aren't available
for editing.
