Default How can one unhide a hidden style?

in Word 2007, I need to use Header 2, but it is hidden. I can see and even
modify it in Manage Styles, but I cannot find anyway to unhide it and add it
to my quick styles. I tried to get around the problem by making my own Header
2 but Word won't let me do that either because Header 2 is a reserved name.
HELP!

Thumbs up Answer: How can one unhide a hidden style?

Hi Loren,

To unhide a hidden style in Word 2007, you can follow these steps:
  1. Click on the Home tab in the ribbon.
  2. In the Styles group, click on the small arrow in the bottom right corner to open the Styles pane.
  3. In the Styles pane, click on the Options link at the bottom.
  4. In the Style Pane Options dialog box, make sure that the "All styles" option is selected in the "Select styles to show" dropdown menu.
  5. Click OK to close the dialog box.
  6. Now you should be able to see all the styles, including the hidden ones, in the Styles pane.
  7. Find the Header 2 style in the list and right-click on it.
  8. Select "Modify" from the context menu.
  9. In the Modify Style dialog box, click on the Format button at the bottom and select "Paragraph" from the dropdown menu.
  10. In the Paragraph dialog box, make sure that the "Outline level" dropdown menu is set to "Body text" or "Level 1".
  11. Click OK to close the Paragraph dialog box.
  12. Click OK again to close the Modify Style dialog box.

Now the Header 2 style should be unhidden and you should be able to use it in your document. If you still can't find it in the Quick Styles gallery, you can add it manually by right-clicking on the style in the Styles pane and selecting "Add to Quick Style Gallery" from the context menu.

I assume you mean Heading 2 and want its thumbnail to appear in the Quick
Styles gallery on the Home tab, in the Styles group.

Heading 2, Heading 3...Heading 9 are each set up by default to be hidden
until the next higher level style is applied. If you apply Heading 1 to a
paragraph in a document, Heading 2 will then be visible in the Quick Style
gallery immediately to the right of Heading 1.

Alternatively, you can select the Recommend tab in Manage Styles dialog box,
select the Heading 2 style, click Show and click OK. Since all heading styles
are included in the Quick Style list, Heading 2 will now be displayed in the
Quick Style gallery.

Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to display the Styles pane. Click the Manage Styles
button. In the Manage Styles dialog box, click the Recommend tab. Select the
style name. Click the Show button. Click OK.
