Hi All,

This has probably been asked 1.5 billion times, and well I am having no luck with the search functionality.

My company has changed logo's and as such all existing documentation needs to be moved over.

Is it at all possible to just make that happen? I have a .dot with the new formatting styles (with headers and footers) and I would like to change all existing documentation...



It has to be easy.....right???

Thanks all!

Darryl

If you create a new document based on your template, you can then import existing content via Insert tab | Object | Text from File.

It is very easy, if it was planned for. Otherwise, not so easy.

As Stefan said, if you create a new document based on the new template and copy your old content into that document, it should flow smoothly.

Otherwise, in my business, I have all documentation based on a couple of templates. If those templates change, everything in my other templates changes to match.

For instance, with a logo, if you have the logo stored as AutoText and use an AutoText field to display the logo then if you change it in the AutoText, it is changed in all the fields. The same is true of names and addresses. You can do the same thing using IncludeText fields and bookmarked information in a base file.

This, though, is not a natural way to set things up.

I suspect you have a fairly big project ahead of you. Sorry.
