Copying Styles

[Kevin Sargeant]

I'm frustrated with this process. I'm trying to use
Organizer to copy styles from one template (the
normal.dot on my computer) to another (a global template
on the network). When I'm done with the copying and close
the window, I'm asked if I want to save the changes. I
say yes. A new window then pops up saying if I save the
changes as a word document, all autotext entries will be
lost, save anyway. Of course I say no, but then the
styles aren't copied to the global template. Nowhere does
it ask if I want to save the file as a template instead
of as a Word document.

Please help.

Hi Kevin,

How about if you open that global template in Word, first,
then try copying the styles across?

Note that even then, I'm not sure why you'd be copying
styles to a *global* template, as they won't be available to
you directly in the Word environment...
