SETTING TABS IN WORD 2016 UPDATE
Only if the "Automatically update document styles" box is checked, and it should be kept unchecked at all times except when you explicitly intend to update the document styles - at other times it's a disasterĪs I said, though, doing "the Ctrl+A thing" in existing documents is quick and easy, and it avoids the risk that you may forget to turn off the "Automatically apply" option. Further, since most other styles inherit from the Normal style, those styles will also get the new default tab stops.Īlso, attaching a template to an existing document will update the document's styles The template will apply the changed default tab stops to the document's Normal style. ("Normal style" is a paragraph style in every template and document, not the same thing as the Normal.dotm template.) Then updating an existing document's styles by attaching Normal style of the template you will use to base new documents of this type. That's what makes this little dance necessary.)Īfter saving and closing the template, you can attach the template to the document with the Automatically Update Styles checked, and the Normal style of the document will have the changed tab stops.Īctually, it will be much quicker to open the existing document, press Ctrl+A to select everything, open the Paragraph dialog, click the Tabs button, and set the default tab stops.Įither way, of course, new documents based on the template will inherit the template's tab setting. (For some reason, the default tab stop control doesn't exist in the Tabs dialog reached from a Modify Style dialog, only in the Tabs dialog reached from the Paragraph dialog or by double-clicking the ruler. To make this do what you want, first you must open the template, set the default tab stops in a paragraph, and then right-click the Normal style in the Home ribbon and click each section can have different headers and footers for the first page, even pages and all other pages.
As the article goes on to explain in Section 2.7, you can cause styles from the template to be copied into the document by checking the box forĪutomatically update document styles in the Templates dialog (being careful to uncheck it after making the attachment). ms word allows us to format three sets of headers and footers per section. So, what does happen when you attach a new template to a document? When you say that you applied the custom template to a document, do you mean that you used the Attach button in the Templates and Add-Ins dialog box opened from Developer > Document Template, to change which template is attached to an existing document?
