FORMAT ATTACH STYLE SHEET
 
Procedures: <Attaching or detaching a style sheet>
 
Use the Format Attach Style Sheet command to
attach or detach a specified <style sheet>.
 
■  Word attaches the <default> style sheet,
   NORMAL.STY, to new documents. This style
   sheet determines the default styles until
   you revise NORMAL.STY or attach a different
   style sheet.
 
■  The name of the style sheet that is attached
   to a document displays in the Style Sheet Name
   box when you choose the Format Attach Style
   Sheet command.
 
■ Once you have attached a style sheet to your
  document, you can use the Format Apply Style
  command, <key codes>, or the Style box on the
  <ribbon> to apply styles.
 
■ You can still apply formatting with the Format
  commands and the <speed formatting keys> when a
  style sheet is attached. This type of manual
  formatting overrides any applied styles.
 
■ To detach a style sheet and convert the
  document to <direct formatting>, choose the
  Format Attach Style Sheet command and select
  the Detach option.
 
■ A style sheet that you attach replaces the
  current style sheet. You do not have to detach
  a style sheet before you attach another.
