MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / August 2004Any way to remove part of a style/revert parts of styles back to Normal?
Running Word 2003 on Win XP. I have a heading style that has Arial 14pt Bold Italic as its font, but I'd like to strip that out so it's whatever the Normal Style is (such that if I change Normal, this heading also automatically changes). I can see easily enough how to change the font to a specific font, but not how to change it to being unspecified, which is what I think I need to do to have it get its font from the Normal style. Is my assumption correct and, if so, how do I remove formatting options from an existing Style? I don't want to delete the style and start over, I just want to remove a few specific attributes (just font and size in this case). Thanks, Colin Hi Colin > I have a heading style that has Arial 14pt Bold Italic as its font, but I'd > like to strip that out so it's whatever the Normal Style is (such that if I > change Normal, this heading also automatically changes).

Set the style to be based on Normal style, and then assign it the same font as its parent.

I need to REMOVE the font so if I change the font for Normal for a given document, the Heading font changes also. I do not want to specify a specific font. If I do that, then change the font for Normal, the Heading will again have a different font from Normal. How can I do this? In WordPerfect, I'd just go into the Style definition and delete the font settings. Thanks, Colin > Hi Colin > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Greetinx > .bob Oh, wait, am I wrong? Does changing the font to be the same as the current Normal font, remove this as a differentiating factor? So I set it once to match Normal, but in the future, if the font in Normal changes, my Heading style will also change automatically to match? Is that right?
