A question of style
The finance department have asked me to include a 27 page
file in the annual report. They have their own heading styles to which they are pathologically attached. When I copy and paste their file into the annual report, their headings convert to the annual report headings. How can I keep their heading styles? (I thought it would be okay because their heading styles have a different name.) Any assistance most gratefully accepted. Carol NS |

Don't try it. Output all the parts, independently, to PDF and combine the
PDF files. Or ignore their pathological concerns and reformat the document as you choose. Feel free to point out that finance department's competence extends no further than the *content* of their document. They have no right to any influence over graphic style. Just do it and ignore their complaints. If the finished product looks OK no-one will be interested in their whining. "Carol NS" wrote in message ...

This should work if the heading styles have a different name, but if they
are based on Normal, then they will be based on Normal in the target document (which may be different). If you change them to be based on "(no style)," you may have more success. This is not to discount Jezebel's reply as suggesting perhaps (a) better approach(es). -- Suzanne S.

Thank you to you both for your suggestions. Unfortunately
I do have to include the finance section in the ToC at the front, so the PDF idea may not be an option. The Finance Headings are based on no style and do have different names, so I'm not sure why they're changing when I insert them into the Report. Also, just to make things interesting, the Finance 'Normal' is Times Roman 9.5, not Times Roman 12, so that also changes to 12 when I insert it!
