[Solved] Cannot copy styles in Organizer

Post by dynapb »

Hi,
I am trying to copy styles using Organizer but they never appear in the document or template they are copied to. (load styles does work)
I have tried copying from Template to Template and Doc to Doc and no luck.
The procedure seems to be pretty straitforward so is there some obscure secret or is there a bug?

I found a little blurb about a similar problem in the following post but opening Organizer again does not help.

Thanks for any help,
Pete

Try to make a document with text on which you apply the styles you want to copy. Save the doc and then try to copy. Does it work?

Thanks for the response. You seem to have defined the "obscure secret". Maybe it was in the saving or re-opening them. Now I cannot get styles to not copy over. (except when all documents are closed and then going into Organizer and trying to copy does not work and maybe that is where I got confused (maybe that is a bug))

There is a problem indeed anyway, I don't remember if the trick is to have the source file open or have the styles applied in the source file. Should make some trials and make a bug report because it should work as you first tried.
