If you want your Microsoft Publisher documents to match the styles you've previously used in your Word Processing documents, you can speed up formatting by importing styles.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: NA
Here's How:
- Open the Publisher publication that needs the styles you plan to import.
- Choose Format | Text Style from the menu.
- Choose Import new styles.
- Select your word processor from the list of supported word processer formats in the Files of Type drop-down box.
- Go to the folder where your word processing documents are located and selected the file that contains the styles you want to import.
- From the list of styles in that document, delete any you don't need or make changes to any of them, if necessary.
- Choose Close. The dialog box closes and styles are imported to your Publisher publication, ready for use.
Tips:
- You can only import styles from supported word processors -- those listed in Step 4.
- If you've spent a great deal of time setting up special styles for use in your word processor you can save yourself time by importing those styles to Publisher.
