atw: Re: Char Char style corruptions between Office 2007 and Office 2003.

Christine are the comments you make related to the standard dotx
template or the dot template? The char char problems I am mentioning are
coming from the use of older Word 97-2003 dot templates with Office
2007. 
 
Yeah, the char char issues are a lot easier to work against now than
they were. 
 
Regards,

Warren

Remember the stuff I used to go on about regarding the default style.  

 

Check it in the Styles task frame, Manage styles button, Set Defaults.
These have an annoying habit of flowing through to other styles, and I
really never worked out the rules.  Take care to set the available
parameters in here to your core body text style.

 

You also need to take control of the Char problem, which IS much more
complex and controllable in 2007, if you know what you are doing.  See
instructions at

To let people know. 

Office 2007 is creating a basic corruption of styles if you are using an
Office 2003 template. This is affecting my Body Text styles
predominantly. 

Certainly this is a problem on my two copies of Office 2007 anyway. 

The good news is that once back in Office 2003, if you head to the
Organiser via your "Templates and Add-ins" window, you can easily delete
the 'Char Char' entries, and correct the styles by copying an original
style into the document from your template. Doing global updates of the
style from Normal to Body Text is a stable way of fixing the problem. 

I guess it is one of those things. And it is a lot easier than some of
the Char Char problems we have experienced in the last couple of years.
