Catherine, Most classroom situations will not need very many of the styles I have in the templates. It wouldn't take much time to teach someone how to use a base set (Headings 1 & 2, Body text, List, Directions, and the Exercise styles). Good luck on getting the teachers to use the template! The primary thing to note is when you teach someone how to use any of the styles that require hierarchy. Using Exercise as an example: if there aren't any subentries under a numbered item, use Exercise (1 of 1). If the exercise item has subentries (such as answer choices), then use Exercise 1 for the main level, and Exercise 2 for the answer choices, etc. If you haven't activated Word's Style area, I would recommend you give that a try, as it helps you see at a glance how the paragraphs on the current screen are styled. Go to Tools | Options | View. At the bottom of the View dialog, there is an option called Style area width. Start it at about .7 and then say OK. You need to be in Normal view to see the style area (which can be activated by View | Normal (Alt+V, N), or pressing Alt+Ctrl+N, or clicking on the Normal View icon in the lower left corner of Word (right above the status line). If you are using a mouse, you can change the width of the Style area by hovering your mouse over the vertical line until it becomes a double pointing arrow. Left click and hold on the line and drag it to the width you want.

I hoping to get my student's teachers to use it next year when they create documents for the class. It would sure make my life easier! * * * * This message is via list duxuser at freelists.org. * To unsubscribe, send a blank message with * unsubscribe * as the subject to <duxuser-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>.
