How to Make Styles Appear in the Gallery
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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Daddy" wrote in message ... 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. :-) Daddy "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... 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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Daddy" wrote in message ... ######## "Did you add each style you want to the gallery after clearing it and before saving the style set?" 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. ######## "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. Just another thing to check before you save a style set." 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.

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. Daddy wrote: 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]). 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. Just another thing to check before you save a style set.
