<font size="-1"><font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi Jan, There are a couple
other aspects to template styles in Word, from Toolbox.<br>
<br>
When Toolbox exports an MDF dictionary file, it automatically attaches
a template, as you know. There are several possible templates,
depending on what type of printout you want to have. If you define the
styles the way you want them in one of these templates, but then you
select different export options</font></font><font size="-1"><font
face="Comic Sans MS"> in Toolbox</font></font><font size="-1"><font
face="Comic Sans MS">--especially the choice of Audience: English or
National, it may attach a different template than the one in which you
updated styles last time.<br>
<br>
You will find these templates in your Toolbox Settings folder. There
are 4 files: mdf_e.dot (English-based defs), mdf_n.dot (national
language-based defs), and both of these with "Rtl" added to the
filename, for languages that read right-to-left.<br>
<br>
You should be able to use the Organizer in Word to copy your modified
styles into the other template, if this is the problem you're dealing
with. <br>
This can be found on the Tools Menu: Click Templates and Add-ins. Click
Organizer, then click the Styles tab.<br>
<br>
The other thing that may shed light on your problem is this: When
Toolbox opens your document in Word and tells Word to attach the
template, the setting, "Automatically update document styles", is
turned on. This setting remains on, which means that if you make
changes in the document styles (rather than the template styles), those
changes will revert back to the unchanged template style defs if you
close the document (saving changes) and then open it again. This is why
you must save your style changes to the template (or you can use the
Organizer to copy your changed styles from your document to its
attached template).<br>
<br>
If you do make changes to your document that don't need to be saved in
the template (one-time changes), you can click on </font></font><font
size="-1"><font face="Comic Sans MS">"Templates and Add-ins" on the
Tools Menu, then uncheck the box for </font></font><font size="-1"><font
face="Comic Sans MS">"Automatically update document styles." This will
apply to the current document only, and will cause any style changes
you've made to be saved the next time this document is opened. But the
next time you export from Toolbox the style defs from the MDF template
will be applied.<br>
<br>
I hope this makes things a bit more clear rather than muddier...<br>
Kim<br>

I am back to where I was with the saving problem, sort of.
While yesterday the style modifications were saved properly after copying
the styles into the template, today I it is not longer working.
I can, however, save the file as a template and that does save the
modifications. Does that mean that I have to keep the dictionary file saved
as a template all the time?
I understand that I can create a template I like and then associate it with
the export process in Toolbox in the MDF export proprieties dialog. But say
I still want to make and save changes to styles in the exported dialog - do
I have to save it as a template again?
I feel like I am missing something. I have been working with styles in Word
for years and I never encountered a problem with changes to style being
saved - even those I created myself. Is there something different about the
styles used by Toolbox? Or could there possibly be something wrong with my
Word and should I re-instal it?
I apologize if I am asking about something that is very obvious to other
users of Toolbox but I haven't been able to figure this issue out. If anyone
can shed more light on it, I'd be very grateful.
Jan

It may be that the style changes you make don't get saved, if
you don't also save them to your document template. After
you make style changes, try saving the resulting document as
a document template, then open it and see if the changes were
saved. Or if when you are making the changes, you want to
change the template also, click the box "Add to template" in
the style formatting dialog box in Word.
To choose which template you use when you export from
Toolbox, you click "Setup" in the MDF export properties
dialog. If you don't see the MDF properties dialog when you
export, click "Modify" to bring it up.
