applying styles in 2002
I have read ShaunaKelly's webpage about styles and how to apply them, but
for some reason I am having trouble. I am using XP2002 and on the "styles and formatting" pane, Normal is set to "Courier New 11 pt." However, when I apply this style, it doesn't work. |

Hi yepp
Maybe your paragraph has direct formatting attached to it. Select the problem paragraph and do ctrl-q, ctrl-spacebar. That will remove all direct formatting. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

Curious, I have been trying Ctrl+N to apply "Normal" style. What does Ctrl+Q do and what is direct formatting? |

Hi yepp
What does Ctrl+Q do and what is direct formatting? Ctrl-q and ctrl-spacebar remove direct formatting from the selected text. Direct formatting means any formatting that does not come from a style. All text in Word is controlled by a style, whether you chose it explicitly or not. When you apply additional formatting (eg bold, a font colour, a font size, space before a paragraph etc), then that is direct formatting. In Word 2002 and 2003 you can see the distinction. To do that, click in a paragraph, do Shift-F1, and at the bottom of the task pane, click "Distinguish style source". You can now see where your formatting derived from. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
