Summary:

When saving a Microsoft Word for Windows file in Microsoft Word for MS-DOS format and attaching a style sheet, the following prompt appears if the document contains user-defined styles (styles other than the Word for Windows automatic or standard styles; that is, Normal):

Add extra user defined styles to style sheet?

Choosing the Yes button in response to the above prompt adds all of the user-defined styles to the attached style sheet. Style definitions are added to the attached style sheet regardless of whether a style with the same definition exists within the style sheet. If the key code and variant already exist, new ones are created and a “new” style is appended to the list of existing styles.

For example, if a style with the following definition exists as follows in the Word for MS-DOS style sheet:

 FR Paragraph 2 Box Para CourierPC 10/Auto. Flush right. Box.

If a user-defined style named “Box Para” exists in the Word for Windows document and you choose to add extra user-defined styles to the attached style sheet, an additional style is added to the Word for MS-DOS style sheet with the same definition and a new key code and variant, as follows:

 FY Paragraph 9 Box Para CourierPC 10/Auto. Flush right. Box.
