Copying and moving styles

Styles are part of the document properties, therefore changes made to a style or new

styles you create are only available within the document they belong to. Styles always

stay with a document. So, for example, if you e-mail a document to another person,

the styles go with it.

If you want to reuse modified or new styles in other documents, you need to either

save the styles in a template (see Chapter 10) or copy the styles into the document

where you want to use them.

You can copy or move styles from one template or document to another in two ways:

• Using the Template Management dialog box.

• Loading styles from a template or document (see page 175).

To copy or move styles using the Template Management dialog box:

1) Click File > Templates > Organize.

2) At the bottom of the Template Management dialog box, choose either

Templates or Documents, as needed. For example, if you are copying styles

between two documents, both entries should say Documents.

3) To load styles from a file, click the File button. When you return to this

window, both lists show the selected file, as well as all the currently open

documents.

4) Double-click on the name of the template or document and then double-click

the Styles icon to show the list of individual styles.

5) To copy a style, hold down the Control key and drag the name of the style from

one list to the other.

6) Repeat for each style you want to copy or move. When you are finished, click

Close.
