Importing text with style sheet names appended DecaturILguy 12/24/2008 6:05:01 AM Can you import text (devised in another program)with style sheet names appended? If so how? For example, with QuarkXPress, you can import text with style sheet names before each paragraph of text like this: [ at ]1. Heading: Broomstick poked through keyhole [ at ]2. Subheading: Industrial accident reported at south side plant The document being imported into already has a Style Sheet named both [ at ]1. Heading: and [ at ]2. Subheading: ...so the text is formatted using those stylesheets.

Re: Importing text with style sheet names appended DecaturILGuy 12/27/2008 6:06:01 AM Thanks Jay! I read the links given. But did not answer my question about how to specify styles. The closest it came was: "The [new] document inherited styles, content and page settings from its parent template." Okay... it has no Style SHEETS; let's see if I can say it correctly. MS Word has STYLES and a Template can have Styles... and my question is: can one import text with the desired Styles noted before each section of text. And if so, how are these Styles indicated so that the Style is rendered rather than the Style's name. Thanks!

Re: Importing text with style sheet names appended Jay Freedman <jay.freedman[ at ]verizon.net> 12/27/2008 3:36:14 PM As I wrote before, "At any given time, a document has one and only one set of styles." There is no way to do what you're asking for. On Fri, 26 Dec 2008 22:06:01 -0800, DecaturILGuy <DecaturILGuy[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: [Quoted Text] >Thanks Jay! I read the links given.

Re: Importing text with style sheet names appended grammatim <grammatim[ at ]verizon.net> 12/27/2008 4:28:49 PM If you just want to know which Style is used on each paragraph, show the Style Area (in Normal/Draft View). In 2007, Word Options > Advanced > Display > Style Area Width. In 2003, presumably Tools > Options > ?
