Why Do Styles Work This Way?
I am creating a simple Word document. Even though the document is
simple, I've found it very difficult to manage the styles. After a lot of effort, I've been able to get the document formatted the way I want, but I feel that I lack some critical understanding of styles which makes the difference between skillful use and frustration. Can someone help me with answers to these specific questions: 1) I've found that the easiest way to modify a style is to edit the format of the text, then to use "Update to Match Selection" in the Styles and Formatting Task Pane. However, "Update to Match Selection" is often disabled for no apparent reason. For instance, right now I want to change the font size for the "Normal" style from 12 point to 10 point. I can do it with "Modify", but not with "Update to Match Selection". Why? 2) I added a table of contents to my document. The table of contents uses the styles "Hyperlink" and "TOC 1". In the Styles and Formatting Task Pane, I've selected "Show Formatting in use", but neither "Hyperlink" nor "TOC 1" appears in the list. If "Show Formatting in use" doesn't mean "show formatting in use", what does it mean? -TC |
