When you create a subdocument within a master document, Word for Windows does not save any template or user-defined styles with the subdocument. If you open the subdocument and choose Style from the Format menu, Word lists only the built-in, default styles in the Styles box. If you select User- Defined Styles in the List box, Word displays nothing in the Styles box.

Note: To create a subdocument within a master document, choose the Create Subdocument button on the Master Document toolbar.
