<DIV style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif; COLOR: #000; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">It's been my own experience that "requests" (actually "directives") for using only Word came from the Marketing Dept and/or others who didn't believe that Tech Pubs could do the job and demanded the ability to go in and "correct things" as they saw fit. And because "everybody knows Word", well, that was that. (I remember looking at some of their "corrections" and I'm glad not to be there and take the "hate calls" from totally confused customers.)<BR>

<DIV class=yiv9068230680y_msg_container><BR>This is 'sort of' possible in Word.<BR><BR>Word cascades style definitions. So you should define all your heading styles based on a style called, say, 'Heading Base'. Then you only alter the design as required for each style. If all your headings use the same font family, then it is possible to change the font family by altering the 'Heading Base' style. However, if one of your headings uses a different font family from 'Heading Base', the new 'Heading Base' font family won't cascade to that heading.<BR><BR>The same applies to all other definitions in the paragraph style.<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: <A href="mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com" rel=nofollow target=_blank ymailto="mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com">framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com</A> [mailto:<A href="mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com" rel=nofollow target=_blank
