Question

I have an old .dot file with a few dozen styles in it.
I need to place them into another .dot file that I received. Is there a better way to get them in there than manually recreating each style?

Answer 1

There is a ‘Style Organizer’ tool within Word which will let you copy styles from one document to another if they are both open at once.

In Word 2007:

• Open the styles dialog (Home tab -> Styles -> Bottom Right button).
• Click the ‘manage styles’ button.
• Click ‘Import/Export…’

I can’t remember what the option is in Word 2003. I think it was Tools -> Style Organizer or similar.
