I received a document from another user that I want to duplicate the style settings in my document. I can't seem to figure out how to go about it. Any suggestions?

Thanks! Calista :-X

Calista,

There is probably a BETTER option, and I'm not even sure mine will work ENTIRELY, but here it is...

What about simply saving the "other" document under a NEW filename, delete the contents, and then copy/paste the contents from your file.

Hope this helps (and that the deletion/copy/paste process won't also delete the styles you hope to use).

Please advise, and I hope others will come up with the "built-in" function to do this, if it exists.

Hi,
Not to be outdone by Dale, which, by the way, is difficult at best, may I suggest a solution right from the heart of Gates 'n' Company...
so these are NOT my words, but rather, from the lips of...
well you get the gist. HERE IT IS! ==>>

Copy styles, AutoText entries, toolbars, or macros
On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-Ins.


Click Organizer, and then click the tab for the items you want to copy.


To copy items to or from a different template or file, click Close File to close the active document and its attached template or to close the Normal template. Then click Open File, and open the template or file you want.


Click the items you want to copy in either list, and then click Copy.
To select a range of items, hold down SHIFT and click the first and last items. To select nonadjacent items, hold down CTRL as you click each item.

Note If you copy toolbars to which you've assigned custom macros, you must also copy the macros.
:p

Hi, Skip!

I had actually printed out those instructions from Help, but I didn't understand them. But, I got it figured out.
