Word Templates
I have a number of word templates, all of them have the same header. Is there a way of setting the header in one file so that if I change that file it will update the header in all the templates.
Also if I have a word document and I want to change the template, which will change the layout, is there a way of doing it. thanks in advance |

Word Templates
You could use an IncludeText field for your header (see
http://daiya.mvps.org/includetext.htm). Attaching a template supplies styles, macros, AutoText, etc., but not document layout. To change the layout, create a new document based on the desired template and use Insert | File to insert the existing document. -- Suzanne S.

Word Templates
Yes. Use AutoText from a global template in AutoText fields, or bookmarked
text in a separate file (or files) and IncludeText fields. Changing your template's layout will _not_ change the layout of existing documents, only of new documents based on the template. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
