Styles
Perhaps I just cannot see an individual tree in the forest.
In Word 2003, when I had the Styles and Formatting task pane open, I could select some text and the style name would appear at the top of the pane with the rest of the styles in a list below. In Word 2007, (with Vista) that small window with the current style name no longer exists, just the list of styles. When I select some text, I may not be able to see what style applies because it is beyond the current view of available styles. I have to scroll to find the style with the box around the name indicating the style. Is there a way to see the style name immediately upon selecting text? As usual, the Help file is of no value. Thanks, Gordo |

At the bottom of the Styes Task Pane click the Style Inspector (middle)
button. The new version of what you're looking for comes up as a separate pane which also has a Reveal Formatting button. Also, if you point to the blue-boxed Style name a large info box will display the Style's attributes. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones Office:Mac MVP "gordo" wrote in message ...

You can also add the Style task pane to the QAT from the Button Word
Options Customize menu. It is under Popular Commands. I put mine in the top left corner, next to my font, and font size drop downs. I added these just by right clicking on them from the Home ribbon tab. Then you can see all 3 parameters regardless of which Tab of the ribbon you're showing.

That's what I've done as well. A lot of users do end up more or less
duplicating their Standard and Formatting toolbars on the QAT. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "WhiteRat" wrote in message ...
