Quickly Copying Styles

Summary: Need to copy a style from one document to another? It’s as quick as copying the paragraph between the documents—with one very important caveat. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

You can quickly copy styles from one document to another by the following technique:

  1. Open both documents and make them visible on the screen at the same time.
  2. Select a paragraph containing the style you want to copy.
  3. Copy the paragraph to the Clipboard.
  4. Move the insertion point to the other document.
  5. Paste the paragraph from the Clipboard into the document. The style is automatically copied to the style list.

You should note that this technique assumes the style is not already defined in both documents. If it is, it will not be copied into the second document, but the paragraph will assume the attributes of the style in the second document when it is pasted.

Tip #1066 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003
