Frustration: Using custom Styles in MS Word for Mac.
(Hint, this tip is for Office 2004. May work in Office X but YMMV.)
Templates all over the OS, from the Applications folder to Microsoft User Directories and sub-durectories.
After reading scores of outdated docs (Office X?), I finally found something that works. Not the most elegant solution but it does the job. I would have liked to have my own custom template I could stick somewhere but figuring that out took to long. Maybe my searches weren’t focused enough? I finally found this tip and now my new custom styles from one document live in the Normal template.
1) Open document containing custom Styles (I’m ignoring toolbars for now).
2) Tools:Templates And Add ins…:Organizer
3) Copy custom styles to the default Normal template.
Done.
That took way too long to figure out suck a simple tweak.
