Styles in Word 2007
I have templates created in word 2003 but when loaded into word 2007 my
styles do not seem to be there. Do I have to create new styles and if so how is this done in word 2007, or is there a way to copy the styles from my 2003 documents? Thanks in advance for any advice Double R |

Styles in Word 2007
Unless you specifically saved your styles with the templates, they are saved
to normal.dot by default. Do you still have access to your old PC? If so, you can use Organizer to copy the styles from normal.dot to a template. Then being the template to your new computer and again use Organizer to copy them to your templates. Don't be tempted to bring across your old normal,dot to use in Word2007 because it won't work very well. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Double R" wrote in message ...

Styles in Word 2007
Thanks Terry I have done as you suggested but the problem now is that
although I have managed to copy the styles across the associated autotext entries for each style is missing e.g. on a regular template I use there is a heading for "Companies" in word 2003 I had a style called "companies" and a list of company names as autotext entries, and if there was a new Company then I just highlighted the name and clicked "New" then that company name was in the list. I hope I am explaining this ok! Cheers Double R "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Unless you specifically saved your styles with the templates, they are saved to normal.dot by default.

AutoText is basically the same: by default they are saved in the normal
template unless otherwise changed. You can also copy these to a template using the Organizer (and custom toolbars too). Terry "Double R" wrote in message ...

Tools, Templates and Add-ins, Organizer should have 4 tabs for Styles,
AutoText, Toolbars and Macro Projects. Do you not have the 4 tabs? Terry "Double R" wrote in message ...

Styles/Import-Export and then Organiser has only two tabs "Styles" and " Macro Project Items". I cant find Tools/templates and add ins/Organiser in word 2007! Roy "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...

Styles in Word 2007
Hi Terry,
Roy is correct -- the Organizer in 2007 has been stripped down to only Styles and Macro Project Items. On the Insert ribbon, click the Quick Parts button and select Building Blocks Organizer to see the list of building blocks, which include AutoText entries. But this Organizer doesn't have any means of copying entries from another template. You'll have to use Word 2003 to insert the old AutoText entries into a document, and apply the intended style to each one. Then open that document in Word 2007 and use Alt+F3 to save it as an AutoText entry in whatever template you want them (typically either Building Blocks.dotx or Normal.dotm). To make the first part of that job easier, download the AutoTextDumper template from http://jay-freedman.info. I haven't yet written a version of the companion template AutoTextLoader that would work in Word 2007, so you're stuck doing the second part of the job manually. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
