Right now, the most popular use of style sets is to change the defaults from the W2007 style set (1.15 line spacing and 10 pts after) to W2003’s. I changed normal styleand defaults in normal.dotm to my preferred settings before I knew much about style sets, but later noticed that the style set and theme features didn’t work consistently. Style sets work by changing the document defaults, so if the normal style has its own settings, they won’t change when the default settings change.

From what I’ve read in Word forums, most document developers and formatters are not concerned so much about new features and instead are concerned with making sure documents work in W2007 as they did in W2003. And most of the docs will, but because of settings in the normal style, they may not work as expected with style sets. So that’s another reason we haven’t seen much talk about style sets. BTW, I fixed my normal style after reading this
MS Word team blog. (Well, my main reason for the change was for tables.) You may find it useful.

Thanks for the responses. I particularly appreciated the link. It helped me to understandd the direction I think I want to move it.

HansV,
Sorry for my misunderstanding. Thanks pointing out my error.

Thanks, Armstrong for making the attempt ! But HansV is correct in that I understand the differences between the two…just not sure when to apply the one or the other.

Thanks muchly!! It’s certainly worth a shot.

No…but it is sure worth a try. Thanks muchly!

John, Although I am a novice and don’t like playing around in the Registry, Poremsky’s instructions worked wonderfully!! Thanks for the helpful tip.

Thanks, Dave. But when I click it I am redirected not to a mapping page at all, just an advertisement listing for Office 2003. I don’t care who builds me a map, but I would like to get a map.

“Forward Button Workaround”??

Yes, most of the things ARE indeed stuff I wouldn’t want, but the thing that really cranked me was this: I sent two files from my work to my home. We got hit with the Elkern Virus at work and used a program called Stinger.EXE to remove the virus. Since I often Citrix in I was concerned my home computer may have become infected. Outlook had been configured to stop all .exe files and all .zip files.

FanTAStic! Thanks. this is just what I was looking for. I knew I had read about a fix on one of Woody’s Newsletters, but I didn’t remember where and I couldn’t find it. I downloaded the Slovak fix and it worked wonderfully! I appreciate your response to my request.

This iss one of the message we have gotten at work when the Elkern Virus infected us. Have you checked with a recent virus scan?
