Outlining Tabs on Word 2003
Please note that *styles* should not be saved to another global template.
For this you can create a document template, but Word will not use styles in any template other than the one that is attached to the document, either Normal.dot (if you've just created a new Blank Document) or another specific document template.

"Bob S" wrote in message ... Thanks Terry. That is all very helpful. I am just missing one thing. I already have a global template, which is in the startup folder and is the location I would like my newly customized macros and styles. But when I click Organizer and seek to select BobGlobal.dot as the template into which to copy styles and macros from normal.dot, I do not see BobGlobal.dot as an option (only normal.dot and document 1). How can I get BobGlobal as an option to copy these customizations to? Thanks again. "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Under Tools, Templates and Add-in, click on Organizer. The Organizer is used to move custom macros, toolbars, styles and Auto Text between templates. So create a new blank template and give it a memorable name. Then open Organizer and select normal one side and the new template the other side. You can now copy across the customization you want. You can use this method to keep normal.dot slim and fast too by always saving your customizations to a custom template. If you then place the custom template in the Word Startup folder (see Tools, Options, File Locations to either find the location or change the location of this folder). In a business environment, the Startup folder is often placed on the server and all users have the Startup path pointing to the server location. Then company styles, AutoText, etc may be shared by all users. Terry "Bob S" wrote in message ... Thanks Terry, Now those styles are in my normal.dot template. I have read that it is a good idea to keep your special macros and styles in another global template, so that if you have to start over with a new normal.dot you do not lose all of your customization. Can you tell me how to move these styles (and a couple of new macros I just assigned) over to my BobGlobal.dot? Thank you. "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... When you modify the styles (using Format, Styles dialog) there's a check box 'Save to Template'. If you check that box before changing the styles, when you save your document, you will be prompted to save changes to the template xxx.dot at the same time. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Bob S" wrote in message ... How do you "Save the modified styles to the template? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Did you link the outline numbering to styles *and* save the modified styles to the template? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA Word MVP FAQ site: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. "Bob S" wrote in message ... I believe I have followed the instructions in the website you gave corectly. But something odd happens. If I stay in the same document where I made all of the changes to the Heading styles, I can press Alt-Ctrl-1 and it will apply Heading 1 style, or press Alt-Ctrl 2 and apply Heading style 2, etc. This gives the numbering an all. However, if I am in a new document and press Alt-Ctrl-1 it does NOT put any numbering down at all. What do I need to change? Bob "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... You are welcome. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Bob S" wrote in message ... This looks like exactly what I need. Thank you Stefan, (and indirectly Shauna Kelly) for the help. "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Set up numbering as explained at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Bob S" wrote in message ... When I am using outlining in Word and hit return and then tab, it gives puts the next level numbering below at a prescribed tab set, which is further to the right than I prefer. So, I would like to change this default tab stop within outlining. Is there a way to change the default tabs used in outlining withing MS Word 2003? Thanks in advance, Bob |
