Missing Styles Sam 12/14/2008 11:16:01 PM Hello, I had created five outline styles to be available in all documents but only two of them are listed in the styles pain, even when I select "all styles". When I try to import/export it. the missing styles are listed in the current document already. When I click "Ctrl+Shift+S" in the styles pane & I type in the missing style in the pop up window, the missing style comes up, but functions only to replace the format of the selected style in the style pane. I noticed one difference between the the missing & visible styles when I checked out the modify styles window -- The 3 missing styles have a "List" style type whereas the two visible styles have a paragraph style type. It doesn't allow me to modify "List" style type. Can anyone tell me how to fix this or how to prevent it from re-occurring if I have to re-create the missing styles? Thank you!!

Re: Missing Styles "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 12/15/2008 1:34:04 PM Is this Word 2007? If so, in the Styles pane, click the Manage Styles button. On the Recommended tab, you can choose to always show the styles in question. In order to transfer the settings to the attached template, check the "New documents based on this template" option before clicking OK. For the corresponding task in Word 2003, use the Format Settings dialog box.

Re: Missing Styles gr8auntieokie 12/15/2008 3:34:03 PM You can take what Stefan suggested (below) one step farther in Word 2007. After you have set all the styles that you want to be always displayed in your Style Pane (or Gallery), click on Change Styles, hover on Style Set, select Save as Quick Style Set, and give that style set a name. Then click on Change Styles again and select "Set as Default" so that whenever you open a new Word window, your styles will all display automatically. Also, whenever you open a document that does not have all your styles in it, you can click on Change Styles and then click on the Style Set you saved as your default. Those "default" styles are then added to the document and saved with it when you save it again. Cyndie Browning Tulsa, OK "Stefan Blom" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Is this Word 2007?
