"Clear Styles" or "Change Styles?"

If the latter, it is a function of screen size and resolution. The ribbon resizes itself and changes its contents depending on the amount of room available.

Did you use Ctrl-F9 to insert the braces { }? You cannot simply type those in. You can type what you want in the field, select it, and press Ctrl-F9 to make it a field if you want. Then press F9 to...

Look into the StyleRef field.

Each section can have up to three different headers and three different footers. In the latest versions of Word the link to previous settings for headers and footers...

Problem 2 - modify the styles, do not apply direct formatting
I don't understand problem 1.

You are welcome. The real kudos go to the MVPs who wrote it.

I would urge you to look into one of the old book series Word for Law Firms by Payne Consulting Group:

Assuming that you have your old normal.dotm use the utilities on the Word MVP site and Jay Freedman's site to extract the AutoCorrect entries to a Word table and then reinsert them into Word 2013. I...

To clarify, this works the same in Word 2013 as in Word 2010.

Otherwise, simply create a new document based on the template and paste your content into the new document.

Gary,

Turning off the "Prompt before saving Normal template" alert is like taking the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it keeps buzzing. You want this on, otherwise Word will save changes...

A very elegant macro Paul. Thank you. I have to put it in my bag of tricks.

Would you mind if I add a modified version as an alternative in my StyleSheet page. The modification would make it...

Like Andrew, this has not been my experience. To make a template global you need to have it (or a shortcut to it, I think) in the Word Startup folder. However, styles in global templates other than...

John McGhie put it succinctly when he said that "there are two kinds of Master Documents: Those that are corrupt and those that will be corrupt soon." It was reported fixed in Word 2007, but "The...

Do you mean have it start at the top of the page? What prevents that now?

Might your page (section) have center vertical alignment?

You are welcome. Hope that absence means a lack of problems.

What would show up in the templates and Add-Ins window is the name of a template to be loaded as an Add-In, not the name of a toolbar.

Is the toolbar stored in the template you are using as an...

Pam knows this subject far better than do I.

If you are using Word 2010 you might try saving your different styles as Style Sets and shifting that way rather than just multiple named styles. In...

Generally, when pasting from converted text (including scanned), I paste into Notepad and then copy and paste from there into Word. Apply formatting to that text using Styles. Especially for...

Can't connect to Facebook, NOAA (weather), Wikipedia, or Microsft Answers. Other sites no problem.

Generally AutoFormat features have no effect on styles or their display. They are applied only when you invoke the AutoFormat command which is difficult to do in Word 2010.

AutoFormat as you type...

Version of Word? It may matter.

The macrobutton field is wonderful for simple computer fill-in forms in Word but has no data component to it.

Look into the Forms toolbar (Developer tab in later...

You are correct that Track Changes will be active in the Starter Edition if turned on in a different version. However, as you noticed, in the Starter edition you have no control over it.

The most common reason for a problem saving changes to the normal template is a poorly-written Add-In.
Try disabling all Add-Ins (.com & templates) and then making and saving your changes.

Glad you worked it out.

Try first replacing all .[paragraph] with .xyxy[paragraph].

Then replace all of your [paragraph] marks with a space.

Then replace .xyxy[space] with .[paragraph].
