Hi everyone,



I want to have the same 4-5 formatting styles (title, heading 1, heading 2, heading 3, referencing) for all my word documents. But every time I open and work on a new word document, I find myself having to re-create the same custom formatting styles from scratch - this takes ages and find it a complete waste of time.

Is there any way that I can create and refine my 4 or 5 custom styles once and for all, then set it them so that they automatically appear on all new documents I work on? There's clearly something I'm doing wrong, as I find myself having to do the same thing for each and every new document.

Much appreciate any help,
Best,
Freddie

There are several ways.

• The simplest is to save as a template. Use that template for your new documents.
• You can open and modify your Normal.dotm template. How to Open the Normal Template in Any Desktop Version of Word
• You can create and use a Quick Style Set
• You can use a Macro solution. A Global StyleSheet in Microsoft Word?
