Copying Items from One Template to Another


If you created a style, AutoText entry, toolbar, or macro in one template and now realize that you need it in another, you can copy the item from the template in which it's currently stored to the other template.

To copy an item from one template to another, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Tools, Templates and Add-ins to display the Templates and Add-ins dialog box.

  2. Click the Organizer button to display the Organizer, as shown in Figure 10.6.

    Figure 10.6. The Organizer enables you to copy items among your various templates.

  3. Click one of the two Close File buttons (it doesn't matter which one) to close the file whose contents are currently displayed on that side of the Organizer. The button name changes to Open File . Click this button to display the Open dialog box.

  4. Navigate to the source template (the one that contains the item you want to copy) and double-click it.

  5. Now click the second Close File button, and then click it when it becomes an Open File button. In the Open dialog box, navigate to and double-click the target template (the one to which you want to copy the item).

  6. Now that you have the source and target templates displayed in the Organizer, click each of the four tabs ( Styles, AutoText, Toolbars , and Macro Project Items ) to see what items each template contains.

  7. When you locate the item in the source template that you want to copy, select it and click the Copy button in the middle of the Organizer (see Figure 10.7).

    Figure 10.7. The Quote style will be copied from the PSBF template to the Normal template.

  8. The item is copied to the target template. If you want to copy any other items, do so now, and then click the Close button to close the Organizer.

You can also use the Organizer to copy styles from a document to a template, or from one document to another. Just select a document instead of a template in step 4 and/or step 5.
