Copying a set of user-defined styles (user-defined styles beingconstantly updated/deleted/added) fro

[andreas]

Dear Experts

To copy styles from a certain template to documents I receive (and
need to format), I regularly use the dialog field under Tools >
Templates and Add-Ins > Organizer.

All my user defined styles in that certain template begin with "Diss_"
to differentiate them from the built-in ones. These user defined
styles are constantly updated (some styles get deleted, some new
styles are added). I now would like to be able to copy all these user-
defined styles (beginning with "Diss_") in one go from my template
into the resprective document using VBA.

I could use the macro recorder and have a look at the steps it
records, but since the user-defined styles are undergoing constant
changes (some are added, some are deleted), I will not be able to have
the latest set of these user-defined styles copied in one go.

Help is appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Regards,

Andreas

Simply attach the template with the custom styles to the document.
The document will not adopt the styles if it didn't already have the style
names included.

Sub AttachMyTemplate()
With ActiveDocument
.UpdateStylesOnOpen = True
.AttachedTemplate = "D:\Path\TemplateName.dot"
End With
End Sub
