Copying styles in Word 2003
Connie R 5/3/2007 3:52:01 AM
I am trying to copy a style from a template to a Word document using the
Organizer. When I do this, it works fine for most documents, but in other
documents it simply 'ignores' the style I have copied across (let's say
Heading 3) and uses the style that was set up in this particular document
previously.

I have had that problem in the past, but it was never crucial enough to try
and solve it.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Connie,

Probably someone applied lots of manual formatting in the problematic docs.

Say if someone applied "Times New Roman" to all Heading 3's, they will stay
in that font even after you copy in another style definition.

A radical way to remove manual formatting would be Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Spacebar,
Ctrl+Q.

If you only want to remove manual font formatting, and only from Heading 3,
you can use Find/Replace: Search for the style, and replace with "Format >
Style > Default Paragraph Font".
You can leave "Find what" and "Replace with" empty.

Regards,
Klaus
