Global StyleSheet in Word - transferring styles from an Add-

[Charles Kenyon]

About 20 years ago, I wrote an article on transferring styles from an Add-In using the OrganizerCopy method.
Recently in a thread with Jay Freedman on the Answers forum I was reminded of the CopyStylesFromTemplate method which is substantially faster.

A difference is that the OrganizerCopy method copies styles one at a time while the CopyStylesFromTemplate method copies everything as if you had attached a template and checked the box to update styles. Another difference is that the second method only works from a template.

The discussion with Jay can be found in this thread:

The following vba statement will copy all styles from the template containing the code (regardless of where it is located) into the active document.

Code: Select all

ActiveDocument.CopyStylesFromTemplate (ThisDocument.FullName)

I've updated my page with this in a macro that double-checks whether the user really wants to do it.
