Ever wonder what styles are? They’re actually very handy. You can format a heading, paragraph, or other part of you document exactly the way you want. Then you can very easily apply that format to other parts of the document. If you choose, you can even save the style to use on other documents! Here’s how to create a new Quick Style in Word 2010 or Word 2007:
- Format the paragraph the way you want it to look.
- Right click on the paragraph.
- In the menu that appears move your mouse to where it says “Styles”.
- Click on “Save Selection as a New Quick Style” in the next menu.
- In the box that pops up type a name for your style next to where it says “Name”.
- Click on the “Modify” button at the bottom of the box. Another box should appear.
- If you want to save your style for other documents, put a dot next to “New documents based on this template” at the bottom of the box.
- Click OK to get out of the box.
To use your Quick Style:
- Highlight the text you want to apply the style to.
- Click on the style’s name in the Styles group on the Home tab.
