Hi,

I am having a strange problem with my custom MS Word styles.

I have MS Word 2007 Home & Student version (fully updated, till support ran out) running on Win 10.

My daughter has MS Office 2007 Enterprise version on a laptop running Win 10.

I create my own MS Word styles, both paragraph and character. When I send the file to my daughter and she opens the file, the custom styles are gone (the formatting remains but the style is Normal).

This is a recent problem. Earlier, my custom styles were preserved on the laptop,

After an internet search, I checked and saw that ‘automatically update document styles’ was not checked (not on) in my PC nor my daughter’s laptop (Word Options > Add-Ins > Templates). Also, ‘automatically update’ was not checked in my custom styles.

Could this be due to corruption of the Normal template?

Can someone please help me understand what is going on?

Thank you.
