Older styles marked as "always hidden" in Word 2007
I have a question about how Word 2007 handles styles in documents
created in a previous version of Word (specifically, Word 2000). In playing with the new Style Gallery, I figured out how to promote styles to the gallery or take them off, but found that Body Text style, which I use very frequently when setting up documents, would not appear on the gallery, even when I set it to be. Fumbling my way down eventually into the styles task pane (which is mostly new to me, since it doesn't exist in Word 2000) I found a button to "Manage styles" at the bottom of the task pane. In the dialog box it brings up, I find that many of the built-in styles I recognize from Word 2000 are marked as "Always hidden", except for those that Word 2007 uses by default in its gallery. I can't find any way to change this setting. Apparently none of these older built-in styles (including old favorites like Body Text, all of the List/List Bullet/etc. styles, Header and Footer styles, and so on) can be added to the Styles gallery. I have hundreds of documents set up using styles that have been effectively buried, unless I can find a way to change this "always hidden" setting. Most of the Word users at my company are not savvy about formatting with styles; if I can get the right styles in front of their eyes and easy to access, there's a chance I can get them to use the right styles. As it is, these styles are only accessible in the styles task pane via several extra clicks and some digging, which I'm afraid is just not going to happen. Even for myself, these extra clicks are more trouble than I want to take, when the gallery is RIGHT THERE Is there any way to change or subvert "always hidden" on old built-in styles? Thanks, Cristina Cramer |
