Re: Possible to export individual styles to a template and then to import from it into a document?

I couldn't find the other msg in this thread here at the
ms ng site.

I have a question re Organizer. I just tried testing it
and found a serious problem that I'll need to find a
workaround for.

Unless I'm doing something horribly wrong it seems that
the styles go from a DOC to a TEMPLATE _only_. This is
really tough. What is needed is for styles to
be "importable" from a TEMPLATE to a DOC (although,
granted, the left-hand side accepts NORMAL.DOT. But we
will not be saving the highly specialized styles for the
manuals in NORMAL.DOT; this would not be good. We'd save
it to something like "MANUALS DEFAULT CODING.dot" or
whatever. But none of the templates in the same folder
with the NORMAL.DOT show up "STYLES AVAILABLE IN:"
pulldown so our MANUALS one in all probability wouldn't
either.

So, okay, it seems that the only thing we can do for that
part (though it seems excessivly silly, but what can we
do??) is to open the MANUALS template and _then_ open the
organizer.

But I'm _STILL_ stuck, it seems with saving to NORMAL.DOT
(???)

<sigh>

What can we do to fix this? or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
