Hi,
I am using the german version of Word 2000.
I have a text, that is done and needs formating now.
The problem is whenever I play with the styles i.e.
Format .. Templates
And I click update only the selected text gets updated.
I want every instance of e.g. standard in the whole document
to be updated then. Also other formats like lists should not be touched.
What do I have to do?
Thanks,
Jens

Alternatively you can do Find and Replace on the style.
Click the More button on the find and Replace dialog.
With the cusor in the Find box, choose the Format button and then choose the existing style. Put the cursor in the Replace box and then choose the new format. Click on Replace, and the styles will be changed.
Well, I am still not sure what you are doing.
Many of the Styles are based on the Normal style. If you change that, the styles that are based on it will also change. If you don't want that to happen, but you need to change that style, you will have to create a new style and replace the old style with it as I described earlier.
Hi,
I have run acros the same problem you describe here. To work around it, apply the style two or three times to the text not changing to your new style settings. I haven't nailed the problem down exactly but it seems to be related to manual formating anywhere in a paragraph formated with the "Standard"/"Normal" style.
In the worst case scenario, save the document as HTML/XML and then save it again as a Word Document. Might "clean-up" the document styles.

Not sure what you are doing, but if you do Format/Style..., select the style that you want to modify, click the Modify... button and then choose the Format button, you can change the Style and it will apply to the whole document.
