= SUMMARY =

Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02 and 4.0, sometimes beeps at you when you select a style name from the Work menu (or any other menu in Word 4.0). If Word will not allow you to select a style from the Work menu, then that style is not listed in the active document’s style sheet.

Styles exist only in the document in which they are created, unless you use the “Set Default” option in Define Styles to record the style in Word’s default style sheet. Once a style is defined on the default style sheet, it is defined for any new document you create, but not for existing documents.

= MORE INFORMATION =

In Word 5.0, choosing a style from the Work menu produces a beep and the following dialog box is presented: “Style does not exist in this document.”

If you would like to use the style from the Work menu for the current document, you can import the style from any document for which the style is defined. For more information on how to import styles from other documents, query in this Knowledge Base on the following words:
