DocumentID: 652434
Revision Date: 29-Feb-96 8:29:16 PM

The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Is there any way to copy a style so that the user can "base" a new style on an existing one? The user does not want to rewrite the style from scratch. Solutions: WordPerfect does not have the ability to copy a style. This information should be written up as an enhancement. If you continue to receive calls on this, please submit the problem as a candidate for the Hotlist.

Note: A work around is as follows:
1.      Go into the codes screen for the style the customer wants to copy.
2.      Block all of the codes.
3.      Press Ctrl-Insert to copy the codes (or Ctrl-F4, 1, 2).
4.      Exit to the main Style menu.
5.      Create a new style, giving it a different name.
6.      Go into the codes for this new style.
7.      Press Enter to retrieve the copied codes.
8.      Save the new style.

Or, you can use the following steps:

1.      Recall the filename while the style is stored.
2.      Highlight the style you want to copy, and save it under LIBRARY.NEW.
3.      Highlight the style, and select Edit.
4.      Change the name (say "no" to "Rename styles in Document?" and edit the codes.
5.      When you exit back to the styles list the original style will be missing. At this point retrieve LIBRARY.NEW.
6.      Say No to the replace question. Both the old and new styles will appear.
7.      Save the new list under LIBRARY.NEW or the previous name of the style library.
