Charles,

In my how-to document, I was mistaken in saying Normal.dotm styles are always available. THANK YOU for correcting me on that:

> "All of your macros stored in your Normal Template will still be available. Styles will not..."

If a new document is created and a template chosen (not Normal.dotm), I mistakenly thought the styles in Normal.dotm would be available.
I now understand that, in this case, Normal.dotm is used as a global template, so the styles in Normal.dotm aren't available.

FYI, Your web-page on templates seems to indicate that the styles in Normal.dotm are always available. I copied that text below. Though, I may be misreading your web-page. Any clarification is appreciated.

Thanks again, your web-page on templates has been very helpful,
Jim

From your web-page on templates:

SECTION: Normal.dotm - the pan-global template - the granddaddy of all document templates

Normal.dotm ... is a special global document template ... Also unlike other global templates, it shares styles with all open documents...


SECTION: The hierarchy of templates...

All styles in Normal.dotm / Normal.dot are available to all documents.
