Microsoft Word – Templates

Just like in Civil 3D MS Word uses templates to store document information including styles. Once you create the styles you will probably want to add it to the normal template that Word uses as the default document when you open Word. To do this click on the Manage Styles on the Styles fly out.

Pressing Import/Export… button will bring up the Organizer dialog box that will enable you to transfer styles from the current drawing to the template. Just select the styles you want to copy and then press the copy button.

So now when you open a new drawing your new styles will be in the drawing. You can also add the styles to existing drawings by closing the Normal template and choosing a different file. You may need to change the file format on the open dialog box.
