The MS Word 4.0 User's Guide describes another procedure which makes it even easier to, in the words of the Guide, "create a style sheet in one document and then use it in many others," thus providing a level of functionality roughly equivalent to the separate style sheets of the MS-DOS versions of MS Word. The procedure (paraphrased from the description on p. 353 of the Guide) is: 1) Open a new document. 2) Choose Define Styles from the Format menu. 3) Open the document containing the styles one wishes to copy.

My recollections say that the ability to open other files in order to import style sheets also existed in Word 3.0x. Not a new feature after all. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | UUCP: {rosevax, crash, orator}!orbit!pnet51!pj | Working with idiots keeps | | ARPA: crash!orbit!pnet51!pj@nosc.mil | my life interesting... | | INET: pj@pnet51.cts.com | | `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
