Migrating Styles 2008

[mikeh4]

Maybe I'm being dumb here, but what's the best way to migrate my Styles to 2008. I thought in the past there was a utility for this.

I tried copying the Defaul Styles that install w/ IV2008 to my network Style Location and then copying my old ones across the new, but when I try to modify the standards through IV it tells me the styles are damaged.

I know in the past I just copied my current version of styles and it always worked. My concern with that process is if I'm missing some new fuctionality or data with the new release.

I really don't want to recreate all my standards.

Thanks!

Mike,

Have you tried the Export in the Styles Editor Dialog? If you want to take
this offline, just give me a call.

Yep, I was being dumb, looked right over it and looked at Style Management Wizard which didn't work for me.

Thanks!
