[Lexicog] Help with ToolBox

[Wayne Leman]

Jan, I think your previous save just saved the style changes for that one Word document, but not for other documents that you would Export from Toolbox. As others have mentioned, those changes need to be saved in the MS Word Template.

  Many thanks to Nick and Steve

  Your directions solved the problem. The only thing that puzzles me know, is
  why previously my Word document save all the style changes even without
  saving them in the template.
  Fortunately, I have only been doing test exports, so not much time has been
  wasted on the styles.

  Thanks again


  Jan
