Help with finding style file

[Peter Flynn]

Please don't mix private .sty files with those installed by TeX (a) 
because they risk bring overwritten at an update and (b) because MiKTeX 
won't find them.

Instead, create a Personal TeX Folder and put it in there. This links 
explains how:

For MiKTeX (only), you have to tell it where that folder is, and update 
MiKTeX's filename database. This is explained in the link too.
