I like to correct papers using NWX. I have written macros that change the text to red (by calling a character style which does nothing but switch the font color to Red, I wish I knew how to make it pick up the font in current use) and then write a "canned" comment in the document I am grading. But to make this work I have to create that style new each document I grade. Is there any way to import the style into the document? Since the documents are ones that my students send me using Word (usually) the documents do not open using my default style sheet which has the style in it. Any help would be appreciated.

We don't yet have any style importing/exporting capabilities, but you'll find that you can copy and paste styles. Just select your style (or some text written in that style) from your template document and paste it into your student's document. You should then be able to use your style like you normally would.

OK, I wil try that, it would be a big help. Thank you!
