Daleus Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Is there a way to restore the Text Styles panel to it's default, installed state? I have somehow lost all of those styles while trying to follow the video tutorial on how to use Text Styles. Now when I open the panel there are three entries. The first is unlabeled except for an ellipsis. Clicking the 'expand" arrow on the left reveals a lot of settings, none which can be affected in any way. The second entry is marked as a Paragraph style with no meaningful name [No Style]. The third entry is marked as a Character style with no meaningful name [No Style]. Thank you Dale Edited August 19, 2019 by Daleus This is a question for Publisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted August 20, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi Daleus and Welcome to the Forums, If you go into Preferences of Publisher and click on the Miscellaneous section, there is an option to reset the text styles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daleus Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Thanks. I didn't see that. Unfortunately. it doesn't work for documents you've already setup. The program says it's only applicable to new documents. Is there some way to repair an already created document? Or will I have to suck the content out of the existing file and paste it into a new document and redo all of my layout? EDIT: Got it! I recalled there was an option to import styles. So I saved a blank document with the newly restored styles and then imported from that. All seems to be back to 'normal' (yeah, what exactly *is* normal). Thanks for your help - as you can tell I'm new to the software. Thanks!

LizziTremayne Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago YAY Daleus, Your workaround worked a treat! For everyone's notice, on my app, you find that under the small Settings in the header, not the top of computer screen Edit. Settings/ Miscellaneous/ Import Styles! THANK YOU. My first time using Publisher, (though a decade ago I used InDesign and was driven mad) How like me... Formatting a 400 paged textbook. Will have to figure out images. Thanks!

Settings/ Miscellaneous/ Import Styles! I'm not sure what you're referring to; a screenshot might help. I don't have a Settings/Miscellaneous/Import Styles. I'm pretty sure the earlier suggestion is about using this panel preference option from the Text Styles panel: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
