My work involves a lot of writing. And document editing. Mostly in Microsoft Word. I’m a heavy user of our corporate template and, over the years, I’ve worked with colleagues to iron out issues in the built in styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re not familiar with styles, they are a method to apply standardised formatting to a block of text. Instead of selecting the font, size, colour, indentation, bold, italic, etc. just select a style. The style groups together all of the associated formatting so you can pick Normal text, Heading 1, Heading 2, Bullets 1, Bullets 2, Subtitle, Quote, Emphasis, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

if you’ve ever created a website using HTML and CSS, you’ll be familiar with separating the content from the presentation. This is a similar concept. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s more information about customising and creating styles in this Microsoft support article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sometimes find that the styles in a Word document get corrupted when I’m working collaboratively. Common things I’ve learned to spot are that indentation is wrong on bulleted text, or that headings lose their numbering. I haven’t found the cause but I suspect it’s text copied from incorrectly-formatted documents with similar style names. I did find a fix though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faced with a stubborn Heading style that had lost its numbering a few weeks ago, I stumbled on a Microsoft Answers post that told me how to copy a style from one document to another<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process involves finding an obscure Organizer dialogue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Open the document you want to copy the correct style from.<\/li>
  2. In the Styles<\/strong> ribbon group, click the breakout arrow in the bottom-right corner to open the full set of Styles options.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    1. Click on the “A with a tick”, which opens the Manage Styles<\/strong> dialogue.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      1. From here click Import\/Export…<\/strong> and it will open the Organizer.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        1. Close<\/strong> the file on the right hand side (we don’t want to use the default Normal.dotm).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          1. Open<\/strong> the file that you want to copy the style to – you may need to change the filter from Word Templates to All Word Documents.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            1. Select the style to copy, click Copy -><\/strong> and then Close<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

              Your “problem” document should now be able to use the style you copied across from the “known good” document. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
