Create a set of custom Heading styles without deriving them from built-in styles [Solved]

Create a set of custom Heading styles without deriving them from built-in styles

Hi,

I have created some Custom Heading styles in a new document that I would also like to apply to another existing document and possibly multiple others.
I am trying to produce some styles that need to be used in old documents, which have been written by different
authors, with different tastes and MS Word competence levels, and the new styles need to be indentical in each document.

My Custom Heading 1,2,3,X styles are all derived from (based on) the built-in Heading 1,2,3,X styles.
This is because I have to use both in the documents and they need to be included at the same level in the Navigation Pane and in the Contents table.

The problem that I am having is that the built-in Heading 1,2,3,X styles are styled differently from document to document, with different fonts, sizes and so on.
This means that when I copy some text with the Custom Headings over to an existing document, the
Custom Headings' appearance is not consistent accross both documents.

For example (and you can try this):
Document 1

Heading 1 - Cambria, 14, Bold, 'Blue, Accent 1 Darker 25%'Custom Heading 1 - Cambria, 14, Not Bold, 'Blue, Accent 1 Darker 25%'
Document 2

Heading 1 - Verdana, 24, Bold, Underlined, Black
If I copy some text styled with Custom Heading 1 over to Document 2, it produces the following for Custom Heading 1:

Custom Heading 1 - Cambria, 14, Not Bold, Underlined, Black
So the 'Cambria', '14', and 'not bold' are carried over from Document 1 whereas 'underlined' and 'black' is inherited from Document 2's Heading 1 style.

Given that I want to apply the style without having to modify it, and I can't modify the existing styles, is there a way of creating a Heading style, that will appear in the Navigation Pane and in the Contents that does not inherit from existing built-in
Heading styles? What makes a Heading style, a Heading style?

Regards,

Ricky

what you are seeing is normal Word behavior. Styles inherit settings from their parent style.
This is a convenience in many cases.
But you'll want to avoid it. Base your custom heading styles on
no style. Add the appropriate paragraph outline level to the style settings. The navigation pane, the outline view, and the default TOC code all look for paragraph outline levels.

To check for Windows updates. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Update. In the left pane, click Check for updates, and then wait while Windows looks for the latest updates for your computer. If any updates are found, click Install updates.

Install the latest updates for Windows and for the program displaying the error. Note that the update for the program might be listed as an optional update on the Windows Update page.

Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Update.
