Word 2007 - Automatically Update Style

saraj28163

How do I disable this PERMANENTLY? I am basically having the same problem as
the Word 2002 version (see link:
), but I
need a 2007 solution. Its wrecking havoc with my processing of documents.

I wish MS would have left well-enough alone instead of re-inventing the
wheel with this new Office Version. While Im forced to use it at work, I'll
take my 2003 to the grave!

You should still be able to turn off "Automatically update" via the Modify
Style dialog box. Note, however, that if the *Normal style* is updating
automatically, you must use a macro to turn the setting off:

Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to show the
Immediate Window. Type

ActiveDocument.Styles(wdStyleNormal).Automatically Update = False

and press Enter. Save the document.
