13/25 Lessons 

Styles

Word provides many standard styles:

  • click on the arrow next to the “Style”  box

You can add and / or modify styles:

Modify a style

  • click on Format in the (Format) toolbar
  • Right-click the style you want to change
  • select ‘Modify’ (Modify)
  • In the dialog box, click on Format (Format)
  • Choose Font (Font)

  • set the desired formatting
  • click OK
  • click OK again
  • click on ‘Apply’

Creating a character style

  • select the already formatted text
  • click on Format in the menu bar
  • click on “Style”
  • click the New button in the dialog
  • type in the text box ‘Name’, eg ‘Warning’
  • select the “sign” in the ‘type of style’  list box

This style is applied only to the selected text and not to the entire paragraph.

  • click OK

The new style is added to the list of styles.
Click Format – Reveal format, then you adjust the style.

  • to apply a style we need to first select the text, click the down arrow next to the “Style” box in the  Format toolbar
  • click on the style “My_Style ‘

  • the style is applied immediately

Making a paragraph style

Based on a previously formatted paragraph, we can make a paragraph Style:

to apply paragraph style to “text block 2”

You can adjust the width of the frames to the left and right of the paragraph mark.

To get an overview of all the styles that are applied to a document:

  • We first place the document in the “Normal view” (View – Normal View)
  • Click on the Tools menu, click Options
  • Click on the View tab
  • Set a margin for the display of the styles for example 3, in the “Format” Window
    (You can always change it later by dragging the vertical line)
  • Click OK

You can always change the style or choose a different style by double clicking on the appropriate style

We have already seen the way to do this.

If you change a style, then Word applies it to all texts or paragraphs where you have used this style.

In the menu ‘Format’ – ‘Theme’ – ‘Gallery Styles’ we can see the different templates that appear in our document.

 

Awesome!
