The article does not require you to know how to create and run macros. It's
hard to see how the instructions could be much simpler than this:
1. Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to show
the Immediate Window.
2. Type:
ActiveDocument.Styles(wdStyleNormal).AutomaticallyUpdate = False
3. Press Enter, and save the document.

My style is "Normal", and in Word 2007 there is not an option to turn off
"automatically update". I tried to follow the directions described in the
link, which involves creating a macro. I followed the steps outlined, but
they did not work for me. I suspect that there was some information left
out
of the instructions for Word 2007. Perhaps the instructions assume I know
how to create and run macros, which I do not. I can't believe that Word
2007
blocks turning off automatic update, and that to get around it you have to
do
something as laborious as create a macro. Anyway, I couldn't figure it
out.
But I really appreciate you answering my post. If you have any other
ideas,
or some supplementary material for the instructions in that link, I would
certainly appreaciate it.

the Tab stops in the new section, as described in

The new piece of content has styles the same as the old document and is
picking up the new format.

Hope this helps
