Style.AutomaticallyUpdate Property (Word)
True if the style is automatically redefined based on the selection. Read/write Boolean.
Syntax
expression .AutomaticallyUpdate
expression A variable that represents a Style object.
Remarks
If the AutomaticallyUpdate property is set to False, Microsoft Word prompts for confirmation before redefining the style based on the selection. A style can be redefined when it is applied to a selection that has the same style but different manual formatting.
Example
This example creates a style named "Style1" that can be redefined without the need for confirmation.
Dim docNew as Document
Dim styleNew as Style
Set docNew = Documents.Add
Set styleNew = docNew.Styles.Add("Style1")
With styleNew
.BaseStyle = docNew.Styles(wdStyleNormal)
.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacingRule = wdLineSpaceDouble
.AutomaticallyUpdate = True
End With
