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

Does it matter?  If you are working in 2007, save your template to a dotm,
clean all your chars out of the template and set your settings so that you
don't put any more in.

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.

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

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.
