Template Organizer

Hi,

I am using Word 2003.

I have placed different things in different Templates:
Command.dot - This contains custom commands.
Toolbars.dot - This contain custom toolbars.
Page.dot - This contains headers, footers, default font and page settings.

My document:
I have Page.dot attached instead of Normal.dot.
I have Command.dot & Toolbar.dot in the Startup folder.

All this works fine.

I have two other Templates:
Text.dot and Paragraphs.dot - These contain custom styles & formatting.

I add both these via <Templates and Add-ins...>
I 'check' each, so they are loaded.

Here's my problem:

When I go into the Organizer, I expected these two Templates to appear in
the 'Styles available in' drop-down list - But they don't, and I cannot
access the custom styles & formatting in either of these two Templates.

How do I get these two Templates to appear in the Organizer?

Any help, greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, styles in Add-in templates (template in the Templates and
Add-ins dialog box list) don't appear in the user interface. What you could
do is changed the Attached Template from Page.dot to one of the other
templates.

Or, you could create a macro (in Command.dot) that would use the
OrganizerCopy method to copy styles from one of those templates into your
document.
