Naming Styles
Hello -
I apologize if this is not the correct group for this question. I've been researching some of the other groups as well. After reading an article of Charles Kenyon's regarding naming filenames and characters that can be used and not be used - my question is whether the same rules apply to paragraph and character style names. I'm working in Word 2000. I'd also like to say that this group is truly wonderful. There are so many of you experts who generously share your time and knowledge to help others. Thank you! Michele |

Naming Styles
Hi,
I expect the article you read was at http://addbalance.com/word/namingfiles.htm. The same rules do not apply to style names as apply to file names but there may be some characters that are not allowed. I don't know what they would be, but if you find any, please let me know. Having a system for naming styles is a good idea but keep in mind the names of the built-in styles and start from those. You can have multiple names for a single style, separated by a comma. I will usually follow a long name by a name that consists of 1-3 letters/numbers. I.e., Heading 1,h1, Heading 2,h2 for simplicity in typing into the style box. You may want to look at http://addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm for more on styles - although not the answer to this question. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
