I use Word 2002 at work and Word 2007 at home. Word 2007 runs in Compatibility Mode.

In Word 2002 I have a customized set of styles that I use most of the time. To transfer these to Word 2007, I created a sample document in Word 2002 that included all my styles and then opened this document in Word 2007. I selected Change Styles Style Set Save as Quick Style Set and gave my Style Set a name. Now my style set appears in the listing of style sets. So far, so good.

The problem is: When I select my style from the Style Set list, I can't get the styles to appear in the Style Gallery on the ribbon. How do I do that?

Display the Styles pane (press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S, or click the tiny button in the
title bar of the Styles group on the ribbon). Right-click each of your styles in
the list and choose "Add to Quick Style Gallery".

Aha...so I have to add each style individually? I was hoping that all styles in a style set would automatically appear in the Gallery (replacing whatever is currently in the Gallery) when a particular style set is chosen. That would seem logical, no?

Note that many styles won't display until they have been used in the
document (see the status at the Recommend tab of the Manage Styles dialog
box). This also applies to quick styles.

But to clarify: yes, making an individual style a quick style is a manual
task.

You can also set their priority, which will influence how far up in the
gallery they are displayed.

A style set is what shows up in the quick style gallery, and you must add
styles to the gallery one style at a time. If you are trying to provide
users with a view of the only styles you want them to use, you must first
empty the current gallery then add the ones your users will need --in some
convenient order-- then save the result as a new style set.

This is somewhat like creating a styles toolbar in previous versions of Word,
except that the toolbar is probably empty before you add the styles to it.

Thank you, I understand now.

My pet peeve is that if I change to a different style set, the style gallery
won't automatically update itself with the new style set's styles. I have to
manually move the new styles to the style gallery, one at a time (and delete
the old styles manually.)

I'm not upset about this, I just find it odd, to my way of thinking. If the
idea behind the style gallery is to make it easier to choose an appropriate
style, that's only true for styles already in the gallery. Otherwise, why
bother with the style gallery? It's just as quick, if not quicker, to apply
styles directly from the list of all styles.

That's not my experience. To make sure I was remembering correctly, I tested
it again. I deleted all the styles from the gallery, then added the title
style, and saved the style set under the name "one style". I closed and
reopened Word, and the default style set appeared. I switched to the one
style set and the many styles in the default set were replaced with just one--
the title style.

I suspect that you did not clear the gallery before you added to it and that
your styles are way down at the bottom.

I haven't found a way to reorder the styles in a style set, so, even if you
wanted to keep some of the styles, I suggest that you delete them all and add
styles so they show up in an order that is convenient for the user.

I wish I could have the same experience. No matter what I do, I end up with the default style set in the gallery. I tried every combination of your steps. For example: I manually removed each style from the style gallery (right-click Remove from Quick Style Gallery) and then selected my style set from the list of style sets (Change Styles Style Set [name of style]). The default style set reappeared in the gallery. I expanded the gallery window to make sure my styles weren't hiding somewhere. They were simply not there.

Next, I manually removed each style from the gallery, then closed and re-opened Word. Once again, the default style set appeared in the gallery. I selected my style set and - this is where it gets strange - styles in the default set with the same name as a style in my preferred style set (e.g., Heading 1) were replaced by the corresponding style in my style set. The rest of the styles in the gallery were from the default style set.

One thing I noticed: We seem to have created our style sets differently. After clearing out the gallery, you added a style to the style gallery and then saved the style set. I created a sample document in Word 2002 that included all my styles and then opened this document in Word 2007. I selected Change Styles Style Set Save as Quick Style Set and gave my Style Set a name. Now my style set appears in the listing of style sets. I just can't get it to show up in the gallery.

First, I thought you were working with new user-defined styles not built-in
styles with new settings. So my experience with the styles being at the end
of the gallery does not apply to your case. In fact, for your case, you
only need to remove styles you do not want to see in the gallery.

No, I did not. I followed the procedures I described - twice - in my post. (Created a file in W2002, opened it in W2007, etc.) I didn't invent these procedures: I found them in an article on WinPlanet.com written by "...a respected international journalist writing regularly for small business and computer publications in the USA, Canada, South Africa, UK and Australia."

"That indicates that those styles were saved in your quick style set. Delete them leaving just the styles you want and save the result as a quick style set of the same name."

If I delete from the gallery all except the styles I want, what's left are styles that have the same name in my style set and the default style set. Styles in my style set - like List Bullet 2 - that do not have a default style with the same name do not appear in the gallery in the first place.

I want to says thanks - sincerely - to all who have tried to help me. It appears to me that the relationships among styles, style sets and the style gallery are complex. For now I'll just ignore the lot and work with the styles in my Word 2002 document. As time allows, I'll play around with styles, style sets, recommended styles, restricted styles, style galleries, etc. and eventually I'll get everything sorted.

If you are creating all of your style sets starting with files created in
Word 2002, that might be relevant. Are you saying that it doesn't work
correctly even if (in an example document) you follow Pam's suggestions
*exactly*?

That said, note that style sets are new to everybody in Word; it is possible
that they have bugs that are not commonly known (yet). You can definitely
avoid working with style sets (I mostly do) and make use of templates
instead.

Yes, I am saying that it doesn't work.

I will admit that I find the whole thing frustrating. But then, computers
are something of a hobby for me, and I enjoy learning the ins and outs. I'll

That poster missed this part of my post: "I created a sample document in
Word 2002 that included all my styles and then opened this document in
Word 2007." All of my styles were actually used in the document.

I want to says thanks - sincerely - to all who have tried to help me. It
appears to me that the relationships among styles, style sets and the
style gallery are complex. For now I'll just ignore the lot and work with
the styles in my Word 2002 document. As time allows, I'll play around with
styles, style sets, recommended styles, restricted styles, style
galleries, etc. and eventually I'll get everything sorted.

First, I thought you were working with new user-defined styles not
built-in
styles with new settings. So my experience with the styles being at the
end
of the gallery does not apply to your case. In fact, for your case, you
only need to remove styles you do not want to see in the gallery.

(right-click Remove from Quick Style Gallery) and then selected my
style set from the list of style sets (Change Styles Style Set [name
of style]).

Did you add each style you want to the gallery after clearing it and
before
saving the style set?

Next, I manually removed each style from the gallery, then closed and
re-opened Word. Once again, the default style set appeared in the
gallery.
I selected my style set and - this is where it gets strange - styles in
the default set with the same name as a style in my preferred style set
(e.g., Heading 1) were replaced by the corresponding style in my style
set.
The rest of the styles in the gallery were from the default style set.
That indicates that those styles were saved in your quick style set.
Delete
them leaving just the styles you want and save the result as a quick
style
set of the same name.

One of the other posters noted that even though you add a style to the
quick
style gallery, it may not appear there unless it is used in the document.
If
it does not appear in the gallery, it won't be saved to the style set.

Some features require a lot of testing before we grasp them fully.

On the other hand, one could argue that anyone who understood templates in
earlier versions really doesn't need style sets.

Yes, I am saying that it doesn't work.

I will admit that I find the whole thing frustrating. But then, computers
are something of a hobby for me, and I enjoy learning the ins and outs.
I'll figure everything out in time. :-)

If you are creating all of your style sets starting with files created in
Word 2002, that might be relevant. Are you saying that it doesn't work
correctly even if (in an example document) you follow Pam's suggestions
*exactly*?

That said, note that style sets are new to everybody in Word; it is
possible that they have bugs that are not commonly known (yet). You can
definitely avoid working with style sets (I mostly do) and make use of
templates instead.

"Did you add each style you want to the gallery after clearing it and

No, I did not. I followed the procedures I described - twice - in my
post. (Created a file in W2002, opened it in W2007, etc.) I didn't invent
these procedures: I found them in an article on WinPlanet.com written by
"...a respected international journalist writing regularly for small
business and computer publications in the USA, Canada, South Africa, UK
and Australia."

If I delete from the gallery all except the styles I want, what's left
are styles that have the same name in my style set and the default style
set. Styles in my style set - like List Bullet 2 - that do not have a
default style with the same name do not appear in the gallery in the
first place.
