RE: Naming template styles

["Hemstreet, Deborah" <DHemstreet -at- kaydon -dot- com>]

 I usually name my styles based on the target and type of document.

For example, I don't want my Heading 1 to be mixed with Word's
default... 

So I might name the style H1_WI for Heading 1 work instructions.

The other thing I do - which is very important in Word, is to make sure
that NONE of my styles are based on another style, unless I'm 100%
certain this is what I want.

For example,

Body Text WI would be based on none

Then all subsequent custom variations for Body Text will be based on the
first one.

H1_WI based on none,
But H2_WI etc. will be based on H1

This way, I know my heirarchies and which changes will be carried
through.

By the way - assigning custom styles based on none is the best way to
get Word's numbering (V2003) to hold. It's been working great - a major
improvement over Word 2000!
