Dale Erwin asks whether updated templates will automatically update the template-defined styles in a document previously created with that template.
The short answer is "no." Although the file name of a template used to create a document can be carried in the document metadata, not all implementations seem to produce it. Also, the template with that file name might not be locatable when the document is opened on a different computer. If the template file has been retained, it will appear in the "Template:" entry row of the File > Properties ... > General dialog-box tab. There is a Load Styles ... option on the "Styles and Formatting" dialog though (under the rightmost button pull-down in the dialog toolbar), and it will load styles from a document file including from a template. Experiment with that. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Dale Erwin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 2, 2015 15:10 To: [email protected] Subject: Styles [ ... ] So my question is: After I do this, will documents created on this template before the template change be automatically updated to reflect the changes in these modified styles?
