= SUMMARY =

After splitting the Word screen using the Window Split command, the documents in each window must have the same style sheet attached in order for style sheet formatting to be transferred when copying text between the two windows.

For example, if the document in window 1 is using the SIDEBY.STY style sheet and text is copied from window 1 to window 2, the text will not transfer with attached styles if the SIDEBY.STY style sheet is not attached to the document in window 2.

For the text to be transferred with styles intact, both documents must have the same style sheet attached.

To attach a style sheet to a document, choose Stylesheet from the Format menu, select Attach, and type the style sheet name or press F1 to select from a list.

= MORE INFORMATION =

After splitting the Word screen and choosing the Transfer Clear Window command with window 2 active, NORMAL.STY will be attached to window 2. To change style sheets, choose the Format Stylesheet Attach command and type a different style sheet name (for example, SIDEBY.STY).

If a pre-existing document is loaded into window 2, the attached style sheet will be the style sheet that was last used with the document. To change the attached style sheet, choose the Format Stylesheet Attach command and type a different style sheet name.
