= SUMMARY =

You can replace a style in a Microsoft Word for the Macintosh document with the definition of another style within the same document by following these steps:


 * 1) From the Format menu, choose Styles (Define Styles in Word 3.x and 4.0).
 * 2) Select the style you want to replace.
 * 3) In the Style name box, delete the old name of the style by selecting it and pressing the BACKSPACE key. Type the name of the style you want to replace the old name with. Please note that case is important (for example, “style1” is not the same as “Style1”).
 * 4) Click Define. Word will bring up a message saying “Name matches style. Merge with ?” where is the name of the style you are changing to. Click OK.

At this point, the old style will no longer exist and any paragraphs formatted with the old style will now be formatted with the new style.
