Style Separator with custom style sheets

[DK Goodwin]

Hello, I've created custom style sheets for my client.
They have many satelite offices each of which want thier
own look from the universal documents.
Problem: We need the style separator to be in the style
sheets as the merge process strips the SSep during merge.
Example of resulting document wish is

Section 1.01.1 <tab> Title of Section <Style sep> text of
section begins.

Rather than

Section 1.01.1 <tab> Title of Section <Style sep>
Text of section begins.

Help would be appreciated - got nearly 300 templates to
apply these styles to.

Hi DK

In Word-lingua, you probably mean templates?

Nightmare! ;-)

What kind of merge are you talking here?

Section 1.01.1 <tab> Title of Section <Style sep> text of
section begins.

Rather than

Section 1.01.1 <tab> Title of Section <Style sep>
Text of section begins.

AFAIK, a style separator cannot be part of a style. But it's pretty hard
to decipher what it is you want to do here. If you want to allow your
users to easily enter the run-in title in the way you want it (which is
rather hard to imagine, unless the "Section 1.01.1" is formatted with a
left indent), you might want to define an AutoText or a macro and offer
them a button on a custom toolbar, something like that ...
