Are the any style mapping utilities for recent Word versions?
Subject:Are the any style mapping utilities for recent Word versions? From:john -dot- x -dot- posada -at- us -dot- hsbc -dot- com Date:Thu, 8 Nov 2012 13:11:59 -0500
Hi, guys...
I'm at a new contract with a department that has never really had a writer,
only a bunch of developers with a tenuous hold on the English language. You
can therefore imagine the state of the documentation.
What I'm looking for is the next step above the style organizer. What I'd
like to do is have something that would allow me to map each individual old
style to a new style and use it to replace the style. I used to do that
with FM through a plugin (I think it was cud's template mapper), but I
don't know if that kind of capability even exists for Word.
BTW...under separate post, I'm going to be asking about how to institute
Table Numbering
Jeezz...there's so much I've forgotten in Word not having used it seriously
for almost 10 years :-)
