2.00 WINDOWS ------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Publisher version 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= NOTE: This information is in the Publisher Help file topic "Using a Style Created in Another Publication or Application." You can use styles in Publisher that were created in other publications or applications. A style is part of the publication in which it was created. To use the same style in other publications, place a copy of that style in each publication in which you want to use the style. Copying a style from one publication to another is called "importing" a style. You can also use styles from documents created in other applications, such as Microsoft Word for Windows. To import a style from another Publisher publication, do the following: 1. From the Format menu, choose Text Styles. 2. Under Click To, choose Import New Styles. 3. In the File Name box, choose the publication that contains the styles you want to import and then choose the OK button. 4. In the Text Styles dialog box, choose the Close button. Publisher copies all of the styles from that publication into your current one, and displays them in the style list. To import a style from another application: 1. From the Format menu, choose Text Styles. 2. Under Click To, choose Import New Styles. 3. Under Directories, choose the directory containing the document with the styles you want to import. Publisher lists all the documents that contain formats that Publisher can recognize. 4. In the File Name box, choose the document that contains the styles you want to import, and then choose the OK button. 5. In the Text Styles dialog box, choose the Close button. Publisher brings all of the styles from that document into your publication, and displays them in the style list. MORE INFORMATION ================ If while you are copying a style Publisher tells you that the same style is in both publications, your publication contains a style that has the same name as a style you are trying to import. This means the style you are importing could replace the style already in your publication. Choose Yes if you want to keep the style in your current publication, or choose No if you want to replace the original style with the style you're importing.
