How do I edit my style?

[Cyberseeker]

I created a new 'style' while in the process of creating a template. I made it while in the "Contents Control Property" of Developer.

Now I want to edit it, but my new style does not appear in the Style gallery. Can someone tell me how to find it please? All I want to do is tell it to always stay bold.



Thanks

Why not use Word's built-in 'Strong' Style? The work is already done for you.

I looked at 'Strong' but I also wanted a different font and a different size.

Well that's not what you said in your first post:

Did you click on Styles>Options and adjust the display settings (e.g. to 'All Styles', Alpha-sorted) to see whether your Style exists?

[Cyberseeker]

When I click 'Home' there are a bunch of styles on the bar, but I cannot find my style there, or any options.

Click on the little arrow in the lower right corner of the Styles pane.

Thanks,

I found my new style, added it to the quick style list, and checked it.

Times New Roman, Size 12, Bold.

I selected "New documents based on this template" (but it reverts back to "only in this document") Then I re-saved the template.

Im using it in a place holder.

Anyway, I opened a document from my template and gave it a whirl. One of the place holders was bold and one was not bold. Strange? I'll try deleting it and doing it again.

[Cyberseeker]

Nope. One of the place holders was bold and one was not bold. I used the same style for both of them.

You probably also have some direct formatting for one of them. Use Word's Reveal Formatting Tools.
